Battlefield Studios announced a new pre-alpha server performance test that will allow more players to try out the game and provide feedback.
Despite trying to keep a closed lid on Battlefield Labs, more and more clips have leaked online, including the latest batch that showcased the game’s incredible destruction.
Battlefield senior producer Philippe Ducharme also shared some news and revealed that the campaign is inspired by Alex Garland’s 2024 movie Civil War and the horror game Dead Space. We also know that Battlefield 5’s landing roll mechanic is making a return, but it’s a little different from what fans remember. Besides those few nuggets, we still don’t know much, but an upcoming playtest should paint a clearer picture.
Battlefield Pre-Alpa Server Performance Test Explained
Battlefield Studios revealed, “As part of our ongoing efforts to test the future of Battlefield, starting May 23, we will run a one-time 72-hour Pre-Alpha Server Performance Test in Europe, North America, and select areas of Asia.”
“Our primary focus for this test will be to verify server performance and stability with increased player counts throughout a full weekend. During this time, we will have a select group of maps and modes available for play.”
The development team did not reveal which maps and modes are available. However, players can expect invites to start gradually rolling out on Friday, May 23, at 1 AM PT.
