Leaked: Early Battlefield 6 Footage Appears Online

Excitement is building around EA's upcoming Battlefield game, as early gameplay footage from a closed playtest has surfaced online. As reported by TheGamer, a Twitch user named anto_merguezz inadvertently shared footage from EA's exclusive Battlefield Labs playtest. Although the original stream has been removed from anto_merguezz's page, clips of the gameplay have been captured and are now making rounds on platforms like Reddit.

The leaked footage offers a glimpse into what appears to be a "modern" setting, aligning with hints previously dropped by Vince Zampella. This setting sets the new game apart from its predecessors, which have explored both historical and futuristic themes. The clips showcase dynamic firefights and the signature destructible environments that fans of the franchise have come to expect. Early reactions from the community are positive, a hopeful sign following the less-than-stellar launch of Battlefield 2042.

Last month's official unveiling gave us a sneak peek into what the next Battlefield installment will bring. Notably, the game is set to reintroduce a traditional, single-player, linear campaign, much to the delight of fans who felt its absence in the multiplayer-focused Battlefield 2042.

EA has slated the release of this eagerly awaited title for fiscal 2026, which spans from April 2025 to March 2026. With the game's launch on the horizon, we can anticipate more official reveals from EA in the coming months. Given the leaks, it's clear that EA will need to step up their efforts to keep further details under wraps until an official release.

IGN has reached out to EA for comment on the leaked footage, and we await their response.
