EA Will Start “Large-Scale, Community-Driven Testing” For The Next Battlefield Game In 2025

On Monday, we got our first few official details regarding the next Battlefield game from Vince Zampella in an interview, and today we seem to have gotten confirmation as to when we’ll first be able to play it.

During EA’s yearly day for investors today, group manager Byron Beede for Battlefield announced that the publisher will begin “large-scale, community-driven testing” sometime in early 2025.

Which means that next January we could all be staying inside and away from the cold playing a new Battlefield game.

“We’re building a connected universe set in the modern day, for players filled with Battlefield experiences, all of them built with our unique DNA,” Beede said.

Beede also said that they’ve been playing the game internally every day for more than a year now, which makes it sound like it’s close enough to completion that we’ll see it actually release, not just be playtested, next year.

“In addition to internal testing cycles, we’re already testing with players, and we plan to introduce a new large-scale, community-driven testing programme early next year,” Beede confirmed.

We know that this new Battlefield game will have a modern setting, return to 64-player matches, it won’t have Specialists favouring instead Battlefield’s classic class system, and that’s about it.

Hopefully we’ll learn more soon.
