It feels like we’ve not had an amazing Battlefield game for a long time. This is why EA is giving its all to make Battlefield 2025’s release as good as it can be and bring the franchise back to the forefront of FPS gaming with a bang in Battlefield 6.
Battlefield 2025 is exactly what I’m looking for right now. Call of Duty is still great but can be arcadey, Marvel Rivals and Overwatch are compelling Hero shooters, and The Finals is lacking something, but adds the delicious destruction I seek. Battlefield has always provided something a bit different, and (in my opinion) we haven’t had a memorable entry since 2016’s Battlefield 1.
Early indicators are EA is inventing a lot of time, resources, and manpower into Battlefield 2025, so let’s check out what we know about the next Battlefield release and more.
Battlefield 2025 Release Period
It’s unconfirmed, but Battlefield 2025 is being eyed up for a potential 2025 release, and multiple reports seem to verify this.
We’ve reported previously EA’s next Battlefield game was aiming for 2025. A few months later Vince Zempella—heading the new Battlefield title—hinted Battlefield was returning to modern-day combat, also in 2025.
EA hasn’t come out and said a 2025 date is happening, but it seems extremely likely. I highly doubt it’s going to stay as “Battlefield 2025” either, and we could finally be getting the long-awaited Battlefield 6 many have been asking for.
Battlefield 2025 Battlefield Labs Testing Explained
Battlefield Labs is described as the “The most ambitious community collaboration in franchise history” and is a full-on cohesive alliance of multiple developers and players to create the ultimate Battlefield 2025 game.
February 3 saw the first mention of the Battlefield Labs project. It’s a series of tests throughout the pre-alpha phase (and probably beta testing) to continually ascertain the quality of the product. Consistent player feedback is looking to help the four studios working on Battlefield 2025: DICE, Ripple Effect, Motive, and Criterion.
We don’t how long Battlefield Labs will last, but you can try to sign up for Battlefield Labs and test the potential Battlefield 6 entry—providing feedback of your own.
First Battlefield 6 Gameplay Revealed
The first-ever footage of Battlefield 2025 AKA Battlefield 6 was shown off during the Battlefield Labs demonstration. It showed explosive gameplay, destructible environments, vehicles, high-octane weapons, and much more.
It looks spectacular for pre-alpha footage, but we’ve been fooled by Battlefield before. Nevertheless, you can check out the reveal for yourself below.
What does Battlefield 2025 need to do differently from Battlefield 2024—and even Battlefield 5—to make itself relevant again and bring the player base back? Is this the last chance saloon for EA and Battlefield as a whole? Get involved with a comment below.
