New Battlefield Game Releasing By March 2026

After unveiling Battlefield Labs, a pre-launch testing phase for the upcoming Battlefield game (commonly known as Battlefield 6), Electronic Arts has disclosed an approximate timeframe for the complete game’s release. It is scheduled to drop during Electronic Arts’ 2026 financial year, which translates to a launch period between April 1, 2025 and March 31, 2026.

The news was disclosed in EA’s recently released financial report, following their earlier caution about underperformance in the last quarter. There was no additional information provided regarding the upcoming Battlefield game, although its release date has been announced amidst a series of Battlefield-centric updates.

Previously, there was no definitive announcement regarding the release date of the upcoming game. However, a report hinted that it could potentially drop as early as October 2025. Regardless of when it’s released, remember that Battlefield Labs, an exclusive testing program, is now open for sign-ups to get an early glimpse before its launch.

Individuals who are granted access to the Labs will be restricted from disclosing information about the game in public forums. However, the primary objective is to collect feedback from numerous players, ideally resulting in a smoother release than Electronic Arts experienced with Battlefield 2042. The game underwent modifications such as a contentious shift in its conventional class system and an upsurge in the maximum number of players it can accommodate simultaneously.

The initial testing phase for this game will begin within the next few weeks and assess various aspects such as game mechanics and map design. The results from these tests will be made public at a later date. At present, the game is in a preliminary stage called pre-alpha; a short video showing some early gameplay footage can be found above.

The upcoming Battlefield game is currently being worked on by Battlefield Studios, a collective of multiple studios including DICE, Ripple Effect, Criterion, and Motive. It appears that Criterion is primarily focusing on this project, which might suggest a pause in the development of Need for Speed for now, but rest assured, the Need for Speed franchise remains alive.
