What is Battlefield Labs?
Battlefield Labs is Electronic Arts’ new pre-alpha playtesting initiative aimed at shaping the future of the Battlefield series. This initiative allows fans to engage with the next Battlefield game before its official release. Though details about the game, including its name and launch date, remain undisclosed, EA is enthusiastic about gathering player feedback.
Join the Playtesting Experience
Players can now sign up to participate in Battlefield Labs. The first batch of participants will gain access to a pre-alpha version of the next game in the coming weeks and months. This gives gamers a unique opportunity to directly influence the development process by sharing their thoughts on gameplay mechanics and features.
A Glimpse at the Gameplay
In a recent reveal video, EA surprised viewers with approximately ten seconds of pre-alpha gameplay, showcasing what participants can expect to experience. The footage highlights the game’s focus on the core pillars of the Battlefield series: combat, destruction, vehicles, and weapons. Players will be able to engage in familiar modes such as Breakthrough and Rush, along with potential new concepts. The visuals from the brief clip are reminiscent of Battlefield 3—featuring dusty environments and modern soldier attire, while notably excluding the series’ specialist class.
This preview aligns with Battlefield boss Vince Zampella’s comments that the next installment aims to capture the essence of Battlefield 3 and 4, regarded as the pinnacle of the series. With Battlefield Labs, players can look forward to being key participants in the evolution of this beloved gaming franchise.
