EA still plans a Battlefield 6 summer reveal after leaks have already exposed key changes

Numerous Battlefield 6 leaks have previewed what gamers can expect after its release date. Despite an NDA on Battlefield Labs playtest participants, footage found its way onto social media. While that has removed some of the mysteries surrounding the shooter, the publisher still plans an official reveal. After previously promising a summer unveiling, EA's Andy McNamara again confirmed the timetable. Unfortunately, there remains no specific date for the event.

Fans debate whether Battlefield 6 leaks have had a positive or negative effect on the game. Gamers have responded enthusiastically to some clips and screenshots that show destructible environments. Players also know about revisions to the class system and the ability to drag teammates to safety. However, other observers would rather wait for the game to be in a more finished state to form opinions.

EA doesn't believe that Battlefield Labs has killed the hype surrounding its title. Presumably, it will provide a more comprehensive look at the game during the reveal. Not all modes and options are likely available during testing. The company also pledged that the extensive Battlefield 6 playtest sessions could reshape the game's development. Regardless, some critics think that the title is long overdue for more official announcements.

Gamers also hope EA may soon finally narrow down the Battlefield 6 release date. An earnings call with the company reiterated that the title will debut in Fiscal Year 2026. As a result, it should arrive before the end of March 2026. CEO Andrew Wilson suggested that the GTA 6 delay gave the publisher more flexibility. Many fans still expect to be playing Battlefield 6 in the fall, but the Rockstar Games project won't surface until at least May 2026.
