Summary

  • Battlefield 6 is "expected" to launch within fiscal year 2026.
  • That means EA plans to release it sometime between April 1, 2025, and March 31, 2026.
  • However, some players will get to try out the game a bit earlier due to the new Battlefield Labs initiative, which calls on the community to playtest core aspects of Battlefield 6.

Earlier this week, EA surprised everyone with our 🅷first l💙ook at Battlefield 6 in a rapid-fire, end-of-video montage, showing snippets of pre-alpha footage. But it won't be long before we get to try it fo𓃲r ourselves.🔥

As reported by , EA revealed in its third-quarter financial earnings report that the new Battlefield has an "expected fiscꦍal year 2026 release," which means it will launch sometime between April 1, 2025, and March 31,🦂 2026.

Some Battlefield Fans Will Get To Try The New Game Early

EA also showcased a brand-new initiative in the aforementioned video — Ba𒐪ttlefield Labs.

The publishing giant is calling on the community to playtest Battlefield 6 pre- and post-launch to "get the community back on [its] side". Sign-ups went live when the trailer dropped two days ago (with a staggering queue of over 30,000 people, la♒sting well over an hour), so p🌟lenty of eager fans will get a chance to try the game out ahead of its release.

Reportedly, this new experiment is an attempt to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:avoid a launch like B🌌attlefield 2042's and win back some goodwill for the franchise. Bringing the community into the fold more directly to "build Battlefield together" is certainlyꩲ in line with those claims (not to mention that EA admitted 2042 "did not me🅷et expectations").

However, fans won't get the keys to the entire FPS kingdom early. Instead, they'll be given specific areas of Battlefield 6 to playtest, such as its combat, destruction, maps, modes,♊ weapons, vehicles, and gadgets, all so that Battl♈efield Studios can experiment with new ideas while ensuring that players get what they want from the series.

Battlefield Studios itself is another new piece of th𝄹e puzzle when it comes to Battlefield 6. It's a coalition of four iconic EA studios, all working together on the new game. We have DICE, Motive, Criterion, and Ripple Effect, each focusing on its own area of expertise. For instance, DICE is leading the charge on multiplayer, while Criterion is focused on the single-player campaign.

While the release window is vague, we at least know that Battlefield 6 is planned to launch sometim🌄e within the next year. And already, from the very brief footage we were shown, it looks to be a return to form for a series that has struggled in recent years.
