While EA has been testing out the next Battlefield game through its series of Battlefield Labs playtests, the company has been relatively quiet when it comes to revealing too many details about the title. According to a recent report, content creator Doom49 has seemingly revealed that the game will be named Battlefield 6. The report comes courtesy of a Reddit user who was able to screenshot Doom49’s picture of a massive box with the Battlefield 6 logo on it before the content creator deleted the post.

In their post, Doom49 revealed that they were sent the care package as part of a sponsorship deal with EA, likely to do with the upcoming multiplayer shooter’s impending announcement and release. Assuming this isn’t just an elaborate hoax, Doom49 also likely deleted their post after being contacted by EA itself.

All things considered, however, the company is expecting to launch Battlefield 6 some time later this year. Keeping this in mind, EA likely has plans to officially unveil the game soon. However, the company is yet to release any comment on the leaked title of its upcoming Battlefield 6.

Global senior director of integrated communications for Battlefield, Andy McNamara, had confirmed through a social media post that the internal schedule still has the official unveiling of Battlefield 6 to happen before the end of the summer. Since summer technically ends on September 23, we might end up seeing the game get its first trailer during Gamescom’s Opening Night Live event.

The fact that Battlefield 6 is slated for release seems even likelier thanks to EA CEO Andrew Wilson expressing optimism about the game’s launch since Grand Theft Auto 6 got delayed to next year. When asked about the state of the industry and the company’s plans for Battlefield, Wilson referred to the launch window as being “clearer than it was before”.

“Relative to Battlefield, what we have said all along is we’ve been building towards a window that we thought made the most sense for Battlefield, but we wouldn’t launch into a window that we thought truncated the value that we’ve invested into the franchise, or the value that we think our players will derive from it once they jump in and start playing,” he said. “I think now, without going too far, we believe that window is clearer than it was before and we feel very good about launching Battlefield in [financial year] 2026.”

In the meantime, EA, along with the various developers working on the next Battlefield game, have been holding playtests for the upcoming title. Just last month, a report had come up about the playtest version of Battlefield getting a massive 13 GB update and bringing with it support for features like Nvidia’s DLSS. The update, players noted, had also changed the Pre-Alpha in-game watermark to just being Alpha, which would indicate that development on the title has been progressing at a decent pace.

However, there have also been reports of several parts of the development of Battlefield 6 facing quite a bit of trouble, including its single-player campaign, as well as the overall title’s inability to hit internal milestones.
