Yesterday, EA pulled back the curtain on Battlefield 6, revealing a few scant details ahead of an upcoming community playtest. Today, the publisher has one more piece of news: the new Battlefield game is currently set to launch sometime before March 31, 2026.

EA has announced a new “Battlefield Labs” community testing program to give people the opportunity to test the next Battlefield game. You can sign up for the program now, and EA says that the “first phase” of testing will go live in “the coming weeks” for invited players in Europe and North America.

We might not have seen a whole lot of EA's next Battlefield game beyond the few seconds of footage shared this week, but it turns out it's not all that far away. The publisher has confirmed it expect the long-runnong shooter series' latest instalment to arrive before April next year.
