EA has unveiled an exciting new tool called Battlefield Labs, which serves as an internal closed beta for upcoming games in the iconic Battlefield series. The developers have given fans a tantalizing glimpse of what's to come by sharing a brief snippet of gameplay footage from the current pre-alpha build.
Within Battlefield Labs, a select group of invited players will have the opportunity to dive into the core mechanics and innovative concepts being developed for the game. However, it's important to note that not all elements tested in this phase will necessarily make it into the final release. Participants will be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before gaining access to these gameplay elements. The modes available for testing will include the fan-favorite Conquest and Breakthrough. The initial focus of the early testing phases will be on combat mechanics and the game's signature destruction system, with subsequent stages dedicated to fine-tuning balance.
The developers have opened pre-registration for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series platforms. In the coming weeks, a few thousand eager players will receive invitations to join this exclusive testing phase, with plans to expand access to more regions in the future.
