Battlefield Fans Are Digging the Leaks, and EA Hasn't Taken Them Down Yet

Despite NDAs designed to prevent leaks, gameplay footage and screenshots of EA's upcoming, untitled Battlefield game have surfaced online. The leaked material, from closed playtesting sessions, appears to confirm the previously teased "modern" setting, setting it apart from other Battlefield titles.

A quick browse of the Battlefield subreddit reveals numerous firefights showcasing the game's destructible environments and new mechanics. These include the ability to hang off vehicles and drag wounded teammates to safety.

Surprisingly, EA's response to these leaks has been minimal. While most publishers aggressively pursue takedowns of leaked pre-release footage due to concerns about unfinished aspects, EA has yet to issue any. This might be due to the overwhelmingly positive player reaction to the leaked gameplay.

Many players express enthusiasm, praising the improved animations, destructible environments, and overall feel compared to Battlefield 2042. Comments highlight the potential of the game, even in its pre-alpha state, focusing on impressive visuals and sound design.

EA anticipates launching its next Battlefield game in fiscal year 2026 (between April 2025 and March 2026). The recent official unveiling confirmed the return of a traditional, linear single-player campaign, a feature notably absent from Battlefield 2042, much to the delight of many fans.
