Unofficial Battlefield Gameplay Leaks From Closed Testing
Early gameplay footage from EA's upcoming Battlefield title has surfaced online following confidential playtesting sessions. Reports indicate a Twitch streamer named anto_merguezz inadvertently broadcast content from EA's Battlefield Labs program, where select players help refine prerelease builds.
Modern Warfare Setting Confirmed
The leaked footage verifies developer Vince Zampella's previous hints about a contemporary combat setting, differentiating this installment from previous historical or futuristic entries. Viewers glimpse intense firefights and environmental destruction mechanics that appear well-received by the Battlefield community - particularly encouraging after Battlefield 2042's rocky launch.
Return to Classic Battlefield Formula
Following last month's official preview, EA confirmed several fan-requested features including:
- A traditional single-player campaign
- Destructible environments
- Modern weaponry and vehicles
Anticipated Release Window
The upcoming Battlefield title is currently slated for fiscal year 2026 (April 2025 - March 2026). With leaks now surfacing, EA will likely accelerate its official marketing rollout ahead of launch.
IGN has contacted EA representatives regarding the leaked footage and early reception.
