While we already reported on how Battlefield Labs will be the new testing platform for EA’s upcoming Battlefield game, the official announcement brought in new info about that, and even our first look at gameplay of the new Battlefield game!

It’s just a few seconds long, but even so, it should be enough to whet the appetites of Battlefield veterans, given it confirms a modern military setting, vehicles, and destruction.

First Glimpse of Battlefield 2025 Surfaces With a New Teaser

While the majority of the video is DICE and EA talking about Battlefield Labs, there is a super-short snippet at the end where we see actual, pre-alpha gameplay. We even get to see the destruction elements, which seem up to par with Battlefield or even BF4.

We’ve made a .gif of the gameplay portion since it looks so glorious and needs to be rewatched repeatedly. Remember: this is pre-alpha gameplay, and as such, this is not representative of the final version of the game.

 

Alongside that, we’ve also hosted a number of screenshots from the short gameplay reveal, in which we see the particle effects, destruction mechanics, and more.

As for Battlefield Labs, the sign-ups are now live, though prepare for a queue since EA’s site seems to be overwhelmed by the number of people trying to get their names on the list.

In the press release sent by EA, it calls Battlefield Labs the “most ambitious community testing program in franchise history.”

The first phase of the test will go live “in the coming weeks,” though not exactly specified just when.

Vince Zampella, the boss of Respawn and Group GM for EA Studios Organization, said, ” “I’ve been playing Battlefield long before I joined the team. This game has so much potential. To find that potential, with us being pre-alpha, now is the time to test the experiences our teams have been building for our upcoming launch. Battlefield Labs empowers our teams to do that.”

Needless to say, we’re excited about this new Battlefield game and hope it returns the series to its former glory. We’ll be keeping an eye out for anything Battlefield, so make sure to stay locked in here on MP1st for the latest Battlefield news.

So far, DICE and the rest of EA’s first-party studios are on the right track with the in-development Battlefield game. Let’s hope this continues as we get to know more about it.
