The next entry in the shooter franchise will be "a pivotal step in delivering on our next generation of blockbuster entertainment," EA says.
Classic movement options like crouch sprint, combat dive, and landing rolls are also making a comeback in the Battlefield Labs playtests.
The first playtest as part of Battlefield Labs will take place for two hours and will be focused on the PC version of the game.
Electronic Arts has confirmed that the next entry in its flagship shooter franchise will arrive between April 1, 2025 and March 31, 2026.
Even after opting for a multi-studio approach to development, Battlefield seems to be in dire straits.
A "large portion" of DICE is reportedly working on the next Battlefield, which is seemingly in pre-production and has a modern/near-future setting.
