  • The global multiplayer reveal on July 31 will feature hundreds of content creators invited to fly into Los Angeles and stream gameplay live.
  • Battlefield Labs testing has been running since March, with closed beta tests scheduled for August 7–8 and open beta windows on August 9–10 and August 14–17.
  • Leaked marketing materials and an accidental social media post indicate an official release date of October 10, 2025.
  • The game will launch with both single-player campaign and multiplayer components, with Portal confirmed and a battle royale mode rumored to follow in a post-launch update.
