February 3, 2025, 08:30 PST The community testing initiative Battlefield Labs has now been confirmed and a short gameplay montage of the new Battlefield game has been revealed.

We’ve been waiting eagerly for news on the next Battlefield game for quite some time now, but that’s just changed. Back in September, EA’s Vince Zampella, who took charge of the series following his work with Respawn Entertainment on Titanfall and Apex Legends, revealed some initial details. Along with the confirmation that the currently untitled new Battlefield game will return to a modern setting after the yo-yo back and forth between Battlefield 1 and V’s World War I setting and the near future of Battlefield 2042, he also mentioned plans for a community testing program. Now, the publisher has revealed a short snippet of early gameplay and fully unveiled Battlefield Labs, its huge pre-launch playtesting initiative.
