"Thousands to Test New Battlefield Features"

Author: Blake Apr 01,2025

EA has unveiled an exciting new tool called Battlefield Labs, which serves as an internal closed beta for upcoming games in the iconic Battlefield series. The developers have given fans a sneak peek with a brief glimpse of gameplay from the current pre-alpha version, stirring anticipation among the community.

Within Battlefield Labs, selected participants will have the unique opportunity to test core mechanics and innovative concepts. However, it's important to note that not all tested features are guaranteed to appear in the final release. To ensure confidentiality, participants must sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before diving into the various gameplay elements. The testing will initially focus on key modes such as Conquest and Breakthrough, with an emphasis on combat dynamics and the game's renowned destruction system. Subsequent phases will shift towards balance testing to refine the gameplay experience.

Pre-registration for Battlefield Labs is now open for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series players. In the coming weeks, a select group of a few thousand players will receive invitations to join this exclusive testing phase. EA plans to gradually expand the program to more regions, broadening the testing community over time.

The development of this eagerly awaited shooter has reached a "key stage," as confirmed by the creators. While an official release date remains under wraps, the project is being collaboratively developed by four renowned studios: DICE, Motive, Criterion Games, and Ripple Effect. This collaborative effort promises to bring a fresh and dynamic experience to the Battlefield franchise.
