Battlefield PS5

EA has announced it will fully unveil the next Battlefield game this summer, and then the full game will be out on PS5 by March 2026. The new FPS is currently in testing via a Battlefield Labs application.

The news was confirmed in the publisher's latest financial earnings call, where CEO Andrew Wilson called the release a "pivotal step in delivering on our next generation of blockbuster entertainment". It was revealed that the upcoming free-to-play Skate game will also launch in the same timeframe.

In tandem with the release window, EA DICE posted an extensive update on Battlefield Labs to Twitter. The developer said it's now "validated a solid foundation for a core Battlefield experience" and will increase the scale of its testing. Throughout this month, more players across Europe, USA, and Asia will be invited to play.

It said: "Alongside testing new content, we'll continue to iterate on our initial focus areas, such as balancing the different weapon archetypes and damage values, as well as movement and combat pacing mechanics."

It's been a number of years since the company's EA Play Live event was held, so it's possible the reveal will take place in a standalone livestream rather than as part of a wider showcase. Are you interested in a new entry after Battlefield 2042? Let us know in the comments below.
