Summary
- Battlefield 6 leaks showcase impressive tech for destructive urban warfare.
- EA's Battlefield Labs allows players to offer feedback during development.
- Leaked footage hints at return to core elements like destructible environments.
Some recently leaked gameplay of Battlefield 6 shows off some of the impressive tech that could fuel destructive urban warfare in the latest entry in the franchise. The Battlefield series has long been known for its large-scale battles and destructible environments. However, recent entries received mixed reception due to design changes that steered the franchise away from these core elements, something that might be changing with Battlefield 6.
EA announced in February 2025 that players could sign up for Battlefield Labs and offer feedback on the game while it was still in development, and news about the newest entry in the series has been ramping up thanks to the project. Although the series has been dormant since the release of Battlefield 2042 in November 2021, the implementation of Labs was seen as a positive sign for those awaiting a new installment in the beloved franchise, with fans keen to get their hands on the game.
Battlefield 6 Campaign Inspired by One of 2024's Highest-Rated Movies
Battlefield 6's developer confirms that the single-player campaign of the game draws inspiration from one of 2024’s top-rated films.
Twitter user goodboy posted three clips of Battlefield 6 gameplay, notably featuring environmental destruction like tanks smashing through walls and artillery wrecking buildings to expose players hiding behind cover. This isn’t the first time Battlefield Labs leaks have shown large-scale destruction, and the re-emergence of this mechanic in the latest leaked footage suggests that it may again become a core gameplay feature.
Leaked Battlefield 6 Gameplay Highlights Environmental Destruction
As with any modern game in development, leaks are bound to slip through, regardless of players signing NDAs. In March 2025, another leak suggested that 3D spotting may return in Battlefield 6, a mechanic that some longtime fans consider controversial. With playtesting through Battlefield Labs still ongoing, this likely won’t be the end of the footage that will be shared early with the public.
It’s likely a good sign that EA is allowing players to go hands-on with the game while it’s still in development, especially considering the mixed reception of Battlefield 2042 and its introduction of classes. While it’s always interesting to see early footage, it’s worth remembering that all Battlefield 6 leaks should be taken with a grain of salt. Still, if the clips are accurate and the game delivers destructible maps alongside massive multiplayer battles, Battlefield 6 could mark a major return to form for the series.
