"Battlefield 6 Early Footage Leaks Online"

Excitement is brewing in the gaming community as early gameplay footage of EA's highly anticipated next installment in the Battlefield series has surfaced online. According to reports from TheGamer, a Twitch streamer known as anto_merguezz inadvertently shared footage from EA's closed Battlefield Labs playtest. Although the original stream has been removed from anto_merguezz's Twitch channel, resourceful fans managed to capture and distribute the footage across various online platforms, with Reddit being a primary hub for its circulation.

The leaked footage provides a glimpse into the game's "modern" setting, as previously hinted at by Vince Zampella, setting it apart from the series' historical or futuristic themes. Viewers can see intense firefights and the game's hallmark destructible environments in action. The early reactions from the fanbase have been largely positive, offering a hopeful contrast to the lukewarm reception of Battlefield 2042 upon its release.

Just last month, EA officially unveiled some details about the upcoming Battlefield game, confirming the return of a much-loved feature: a traditional, single-player, linear campaign. This news was particularly well-received by fans who missed this element in the multiplayer-focused Battlefield 2042.

EA has slated the release of this new Battlefield title for fiscal year 2026, which spans from April 2025 to March 2026. As the launch date approaches, the gaming community eagerly anticipates more official reveals from EA. With leaks like these, it seems only a matter of time before more details emerge, whether through official channels or otherwise.

IGN has reached out to EA for comment regarding the leaked footage, and the gaming world waits with bated breath for more information on what could be a groundbreaking addition to the Battlefield franchise.
