Electronic Arts (EA) recently launched Battlefield Labs, a new initiative aimed at giving select players early hands-on experience with the next Battlefield title. This program, akin to early access offerings on platforms like Steam and Xbox, allows participants to provide feedback to help shape the game's development. However, despite strict non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), footage from the first playtest has surfaced across the internet, giving fans an unexpected glimpse at the upcoming title.

Numerous clips showcasing gameplay have been uploaded and subsequently removed, only to be reposted repeatedly. The leaked footage highlights classic Battlefield gameplay, featuring squad-based first-person shooter mechanics in a dense, urban combat zone. Players can be seen reviving teammates, engaging in intense firefights, and leveraging environmental destruction—such as using rockets to demolish building walls. One notable addition is the presence of damage numbers appearing when players land shots on enemies, a new feature for the franchise.

Initial reactions from fans suggest a positive reception. Many players appreciate the tighter, more congested map design, a stark contrast to the sprawling environments of Battlefield 2042, which were often criticized for feeling too expansive and empty. The test map, identified in the footage as Abbasid, was first seen in the game’s initial trailer. While the exact location remains unconfirmed, the name suggests a possible historical connection to the Abbasid Caliphate.

The Battlefield Labs initiative marks a renewed effort by EA to engage the community in the game’s development process. The testing program allows registered players to experiment with new weapons, gadgets, and mechanics in an early-stage build of the game. The first playtest session reportedly took place last weekend, with more planned for the future.
