Battlefield Labs' next test is the leaked Battlefield 6 battle royale mode, but that's all you're getting today

EA certainly put together a compelling showcase of Battlefield 6’s multiplayer overnight. The event was laser-focused on the franchise’s core tenets, and how the teams at Battlefield Studios are bringing them into a new generation.

EA have given us our first proper look at Battlefield 6's multiplayer, after revealing the game with a single player trailer last week. They've also confirmed the new shooter's release date - 10th October 2025 - and announced dates for a series of beta weekends in August.

The game they're pitching is a return to the contemporary warring of Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4, after the mildly futuristic disappointments of Battlefield 2042. It's got four familiar classes, the old Battlefield mode trinity of conquest, breakthrough and rush, and maps that incline towards close quarters combat or wide-open vehicular blasting or some blasphemous hybrid of the twain. It seems fine. And loud.
