Leaked Battlefield 6 Footage Hints at Return to Franchise Roots

Gameplay leaks from early tests suggest a shift back to modern combat and classic mechanics, drawing comparisons to Battlefield 4.

Leaked footage from EA's Battlefield Labs playtest reveals a focus on modern warfare, with 32v32 player matches and classic class-based gameplay returning.
New features include the ability to drag downed teammates to safety, a revamped revive loop, and map pinging from the respawn screen to enhance squad coordination.
The leaked gameplay showcases significant destruction, grounded combat, and user interface elements reminiscent of Battlefield 3 and 4.
Fans have responded positively to the leaks, which highlight a departure from the controversial changes introduced in Battlefield 2042.
EA producer David Sirland expressed disapproval of the leaks but acknowledged ongoing feedback from testers to refine the game ahead of its potential 2025-2026 release.
