EA Unveils Battlefield Labs: Get Your First Look at New Gameplay

EA has unveiled the first official look at the upcoming untitled Battlefield game through a pre-alpha gameplay video, alongside the introduction of Battlefield Labs aimed at player testing and feedback. With multiple studios involved, including DICE and Motive, the game is set to reintroduce a traditional single-player campaign after the multiplayer-only approach of Battlefield 2042. EA outlines a critical phase for development where they seek community involvement to refine core gameplay, balance, and maps, ensuring a return to the classic Battlefield combat experience. Players interested in participating in testing must agree to a non-disclosure agreement.

Battlefield Labs is EA's initiative for gathering player feedback during the development of the new Battlefield game. Participants can join playtesting sessions by agreeing to a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). Initial invites will be limited, with expansion planned for a larger player base over time.

The new Battlefield game aims to go back to its roots, featuring modern combat reminiscent of popular entries like Battlefield 3 and 4. This course correction follows the backlash against Battlefield 2042, making it essential for EA to regain the trust of its dedicated fanbase while attracting new players. The game will prioritize a classic class system and feature various combat scenarios, including vehicle warfare and environmental challenges like natural disasters.
