Early playtesting for the next Battlefield installment is underway under the Battlefield Labs initiative, which aims to improve upon the mixed reception of Battlefield 2042. Leaked gameplay footage highlights environmental destructibility and has garnered mixed but encouraging reactions, particularly regarding audio design. The return of the traditional scoreboard, absent in Battlefield 2042, indicates that EA is responding to player feedback. Despite the playtest being under a non-disclosure agreement, some leaked videos are circulating, suggesting EA may be confident in the game's current state.
