Leaked: Early Battlefield 6 Footage Appears Online

Exciting news for Battlefield fans—early gameplay footage from EA's highly anticipated upcoming Battlefield game has surfaced online. This leak comes after a closed playtesting session, known as Battlefield Labs, where a select group of players were invited to test early versions of the game to aid developers in fine-tuning the experience. The footage was originally streamed by a Twitch user named anto_merguezz during the closed test. Although the clips are no longer available on anto_merguezz's Twitch page, they have been recorded and shared across various platforms, with Reddit being a major hub for the circulating videos.

The leaked footage gives us a glimpse into what appears to be a "modern" setting, as hinted by EA's Vince Zampella. This setting sets the new game apart from previous entries that have ventured into historical or futuristic themes. Viewers are treated to scenes of intense firefights and get a taste of the game's signature destructible environments. Early reactions from fans have been largely positive, a promising sign especially after the lukewarm reception to Battlefield 2042's launch.

We've already had some insights into what to expect from the next Battlefield game, following its first official reveal last month. One of the most exciting announcements was the return of a traditional, single-player, linear campaign, which was notably absent in the multiplayer-focused Battlefield 2042. This news has been warmly received by the community, eager to dive back into a narrative-driven experience.

EA has slated the next Battlefield game for a fiscal 2026 release, which means we can anticipate it hitting the shelves sometime between April 2025 and March 2026. As the launch date approaches, we can expect more official reveals and updates from EA. Given the recent leaks, it seems that EA might need to unveil more details sooner rather than later to stay ahead of the curve.

IGN has reached out to EA for a comment on the leaked footage, and we await their response eagerly. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development in the world of Battlefield.
