Battlefield Labs Prematurely Announced, Will “Connect Select Number of Players Directly to Developers”
[summaraize]
Yesterday, publisher Electronic Arts promised that Battlefield fans would receive news about the new Battlefield game’s community testing program. While the official announcement hasn’t started yet, it seems that an old Battlefield game prematurely announced it.
Players who booted Battlefield 4, wll see a message for “Battlefield Labs” and a QR code.
Battlefield Labs Will Let Select Individuals Play the New Battlefield Early to Provide Feedback
EA says Battlefield Labs is a “new exclusive testing environment connecting a selected number of players directly with our developers.” For those curious, the QR code doesn’t work yet (shows a 404 page) at the time of this publication.
Players will be able to test and provide crucial feedback “in order to make the best Battlefield possible,” according to EA. The program’s launch will start with players in Europe and North America before looking to expand in the future.
Players can sign up, though there is no guarantee that you’ll get in (same as with any closed beta sign up).
Think of it as the studio’s take on a PTS (Private Test Server) that other online games, such as Fallout 76 and The Division 2, currently feature.
Battlefield veterans will remember the Battlefield CTE (Community Test Environment), which was first introduced in Battlefield: Hardline. While some games did use the CTE, it was mostly forgotten after Battlefield 1.
We expect more news about Battlefield Labs later once EA officially unveils it, so stay tuned here on MP1st.
