Leaked: Early Battlefield 6 Gameplay Footage Surfaces Online

Exciting news for Battlefield fans—early gameplay footage from EA's highly anticipated next installment in the Battlefield series has surfaced online after a closed playtest. As reported by TheGamer, a Twitch streamer under the username anto_merguezz inadvertently shared footage from the closed Battlefield Labs playtest, which was meant for a select group of players to help EA refine the game. While the original stream is no longer available on anto_merguezz's channel, savvy internet users captured the footage, which has since spread across various platforms, with Reddit being a primary hub for its circulation.

The leaked clips offer a glimpse into the game's "modern" setting, aligning with earlier teasers from Vince Zampella, EA's executive at Respawn Entertainment. This setting sets the upcoming title apart from previous Battlefield games, which have explored historical or futuristic themes. The footage showcases intense firefights and hints at the signature destructible environments that fans have come to expect from the franchise. Early reactions from the community appear to be positive, a promising sign following the lukewarm reception of Battlefield 2042 at its launch.

Just last month, we received our first official glimpse of what to anticipate from the next Battlefield game. Excitingly, EA has confirmed the return of a traditional single-player campaign, a feature that was notably absent in the multiplayer-focused Battlefield 2042. This news has been warmly received by fans eager for a more narrative-driven experience.

EA is targeting a release window for the new Battlefield game within fiscal year 2026, which spans from April 2025 to March 2026. As the launch date approaches, we can anticipate more official reveals from EA. Given the recent leak, it seems increasingly likely that we'll see more of the game sooner rather than later. EA might be under pressure to unveil "Battlefield 6" (or whatever the final title will be) to manage expectations and excitement around the project.

IGN has reached out to EA for further comments on the situation. As more information becomes available, we'll keep you updated on all things related to the next Battlefield game.
