EA, alongside developer DICE, has been conducting playtests for the upcoming Battlefield title for a number of months, yet details on what to expect remain scarce. However, this will soon change as EA announced during its May 2025 earnings call that the full reveal of the next Battlefield is set for this summer.

This announcement precedes the launch of Battlefield, which EA claims will happen by the conclusion of March 2026. CEO Andrew Wilson also mentioned that the development of Battlefield is “on schedule,” highlighting that the company’s adjustments in testing and iteration have enabled better preparation for a global rollout.

Currently Showing: Introducing Battlefield Labs | Battlefield Studios

DICE has regularly provided updates regarding its focuses in the development of Battlefield, such as enhancing destruction capabilities in environments and balancing weaponry. However, detailed information on gameplay mechanics, alterations from Battlefield 2042, and especially regarding the single-player experience have remained confidential.

DICE’s developmental strategy has included community playtesters from initial development stages. Mirroring EA’s iterative approach with the Skate franchise, this ongoing public playtesting has enabled DICE to fine-tune game balance and mechanics, based on regular updates from the studio. If you’re keen on possibly participating, you can still sign up for a chance to join Battlefield Labs in a future session.
