Leaked: Early Battlefield 6 Footage Appears Online

Exciting news for Battlefield fans: early gameplay footage of EA's highly anticipated upcoming Battlefield game has surfaced online following a closed playtest session. As reported by TheGamer, a Twitch user known as anto_merguezz streamed footage from EA's exclusive Battlefield Labs playtest. Although anto_merguezz's stream no longer hosts the clips, resourceful fans managed to record and share the footage across various online platforms, with Reddit being a primary hub for its circulation.

The leaked footage offers a tantalizing glimpse into the game's setting, confirming the modern era teased by Vince Zampella. This distinguishes the new title from previous entries with their historical or futuristic themes. Viewers are treated to dynamic firefights and a showcase of the game's signature destructible environments. Early impressions from the fanbase are overwhelmingly positive, a promising sign considering the lukewarm reception to Battlefield 2042's launch.

Just last month, we got our first official look at what to expect from the next Battlefield installment. Excitingly, EA has confirmed the return of a classic, single-player, linear campaign, much to the delight of fans who felt its absence in the multiplayer-focused Battlefield 2042.

EA is targeting a release for their next Battlefield game within the fiscal year 2026, spanning from April 2025 to March 2026. With this timeline, we can anticipate more official reveals soon as EA prepares for the launch. Given the leaks, it's clear that EA will need to unveil more details sooner rather than later to keep fans engaged and informed.

IGN has reached out to EA for a statement regarding the leaked footage and further information about the game's development.
