Leaked: Early Battlefield 6 Footage Appears Online

It appears that some early gameplay footage of EA's upcoming Battlefield game has been leaked online, stemming from a closed playtest session. As reported by TheGamer, a Twitch user named anto_merguezz streamed footage from EA's exclusive Battlefield Labs playtest, designed to allow a select group of players to experience and provide feedback on early game versions. Although no clips remain on anto_merguezz's Twitch page, the footage was captured and shared across various online platforms, notably on Reddit.

The leaked footage seems to confirm the "modern" setting hinted at by Vince Zampella, differentiating this game from other Battlefield titles set in historical or futuristic eras. Viewers get a glimpse of intense firefights and the game's signature destructible environments. The community's reaction has been largely positive, which bodes well for the game's reception, especially following the lukewarm response to Battlefield 2042's launch.

Following the official unveiling of the next Battlefield game last month, more details have emerged. Fans can look forward to the return of a classic, single-player, linear campaign, a feature notably absent from the multiplayer-focused Battlefield 2042, much to the delight of many players.

EA has slated the release of this new Battlefield title for fiscal year 2026, spanning from April 2025 to March 2026. As the launch date approaches, we can anticipate more official reveals. Given the recent leak, it seems increasingly likely that EA will soon unveil more about the game, tentatively referred to as Battlefield 6.

IGN has reached out to EA for further comment on the matter.
