EA and DICE announced today an ambitious community testing program, called Battlefield Labs. And at the end of that video, EA and DICE gave us a brief look at the pre-alpha version of the next Battlefield game.
This pre-alpha gameplay footage is only 10 seconds, and it’s full of cuts. So, it will be a nothing-burger for most of you. Still, die-hard BF fans may find it interesting.
From what I can see, Battlefield 2025 will be similar to BF3. Or at least that’s the vibes I get from it. It will also have more destructible objects and better overall destruction. Which is kind of what you’d expect from a new BF game.
As EA and DICE stated, this new BF game is still in a pre-alpha stage. So, I’m not certain whether it will come out in 2025 or 2026. If I had to guess, I’d say it targets a Holiday 2025 release. Still, I can easily see it slipping into 2026.
Speaking of Battlefield Labs, its first phase of testing will go live in the coming weeks. If you are interested in it, you can go ahead and sign up at its official website. Initial tests will include an invited group of players and servers located in Europe and North America ahead of plans to expand invitees and server locations in the future.
Before closing, I suggest tempering your expectations. This is EA and DICE we’re talking about. Remember how many times they have stated that they are “listening to fans” and that “the next BF will be better“? Or that the next BF will be less buggy than the previous one? Yeah, we’ve heard all of these before. So, until DICE actually delivers, you should stay skeptical about it.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Hope it comes filled with fat nibba wahmen, so it represents the real world better!
seizure inducing editing. so cool take my sheckels
tired of these bloated drm turds
I completely forgot this franchise even existed. In fact, I completely forgot EA still existed.
How is this company even still solvent? How……….?
2042 had a pretty terrible launch but managed to actually get pretty substantial numbers in the later seasons, near the end it was over 100,000 concurrent players.
They sold the game for like 3 dollars constantly.
Of course it did
With 5 euro sales
Indeed, seems like EA are the only studio doing those massive discounts on new-ish titles.
It makes sense from the perspective of trying to get as many cattle into the microtransaction shop as possible.
isnt this bf3 with a orange reshade?
The pic is indeed from BF3 intro part.
I am very concerned, I didn't see any women or people of color or LGBT in the clip. Is EA joining the Alt right movement? I can't believe them. I'm boycotting day 1.
LMAO
Probably hiding it.
Believe it when I see it with EA these days…
It's going to be a return to form, just like Dragon Age Veilguard!
Just bury this franchise, it's a zombie of what it used to be.
I applaud that last paragraph.
Especially these days of rushed unfinished games.

A globalist initiative! I love it!

Does anyone actually trust EA?
This is from the survey they sent to the playtesters. The game hasn't even reached the alpha stage, I've already decided not to buy it. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f0b2ed612f355f00cc96ffb6279efdd2211ec9b31919dd036b5ae9e5220bcdb6.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3e0880ddbaf95836e024dedac9f7ebfde63d7d222decf3797c65c9d6da75dfa2.jpg
D.O.A.
That's pretty ballsy to drop 2024 and have people pay all that money. They ask them to do again and be alpha testers and drop support again and give lame excuses. Oh Hey 2026 is out now for $70 base price. Come enjoy one of the best battlefields since 2025.
Trip me once, trip me twice…
