EA Announces Battlefield Labs and Previews Next Battlefield Game

The initiative invites players to test pre-alpha features as the franchise aims to recover from Battlefield 2042's challenges.

EA has unveiled Battlefield Labs, a community testing program allowing players to provide feedback on the next Battlefield game during its development phase.
The new game, currently in pre-alpha, features a return to modern combat settings with improved destructible environments and a focus on core gameplay elements like combat, vehicles, and maps.
Four EA studios—DICE, Criterion, Ripple Effect, and Motive—are collaborating under the new Battlefield Studios banner, with each studio focusing on specific aspects of the game, including multiplayer and single-player modes.
Initial testing will begin in the coming weeks for select players in North America and Europe, with plans to expand the program to other regions and increase participant numbers over time.
The testing program aims to address past issues, such as those faced during the launch of Battlefield 2042, by incorporating player feedback to refine gameplay and ensure a smoother release.
