This past week,Battlefield 6‘s developers made a number of significant announcements, including a five-minute in-depth video on the officialBattlefieldYouTube account that revealed new gameplay, a new studio, and a new community project.
The numerous, brief but entertaining gameplay snippets of the upcoming title, which featured chaotic gunplay, devastation of the environment, and exhilarating vehicular combat, were what most fans were interested in. Additionally, a brief tour of Battlefield Studios is included in the opening trailer. Fans are pretty excited about this announcement, but a recent report might deject all the hype.
Battlefield 6is reportedly having a new development team
A recent report aboutBattlefield 6provides some insight into the game’s development team, as it appears that many members of the team are completely new to the franchise.
It is understandable that this news has already caused division, with the arrival of these new players either causing a loss of the traditional values behind older releases thatBattlefield 6is supposedly trying to recreate or serving as a good way to move away from the many negatives of recent projects like2042.
According to recent remarks made by an alleged anonymous former DICE employee, the majority of the developers from previous Battlefield releases have since left the company, meaning that many new developers are leadingBattlefield 6.
So, if you’re a Battlefield fan, temper your expectations. This is a new era of the game made by a completely new group of people, following a new philosophy. Whether that’s good or bad depends on your personal outlook.
This has only intensified the debate surrounding the title. Naturally, this pervasive lack of concrete prior involvement in theBattlefieldfranchise is highly concerning, with the only possible benefit of this shift being a departure fromBattlefield‘s recent flaws.
Thesame claimthatEA is trying to bringBattlefieldcloser toCall of Dutyby implementing things like yearly releases and a greater emphasis on in-game seasons and battle passes, along withBF6‘s lack of experienced developers, sparked outrage and, if accurate, demonstrated a significant gap between the franchise’s community andBF‘s future.

Even though some new developers may have helped move past2042‘s shortcomings, it seems hard to imagineBF6hitting the same beats as games like Battlefield 3 under this highly contentious approach.
EA has announced Battlefield Labs
Battlefield Labs, a new testing program for fans to test the upcoming series and provide feedback on their experiences, has been announced by Electronic Arts. By doing this, the community will have more opportunities than ever before to influence the creation of the upcomingBattlefieldgame.
Although many of their issues were eventually resolved, the last few Battlefield games launched with a plethora of technical problems that damaged their overall reputations. To ensure a smoother launch than its immediate predecessors, EAconfirmedin September 2024 thatthe upcomingBattlefieldgame will undergo a community testing program.
On February 3, five months later, the publisher formally unveiled its testing program. The initiative, known as Battlefield Labs, will give fans the chance to test out the majority ofBattlefield 6—or whatever the next game in the series is called—and give the developers feedback.

“We will test (almost) everything but not everything you see will be complete,”stated EA. At first, the program will only accept a few thousand people in North America and Europe, but it will eventually grow to include tens of thousands of testers and additional territories.
Now it’s up to the“new”developers how they are going to shape up the future of theBattlefieldfranchise.
