Battlefield Labs is making a comeback very soon, and things are kicking off with an early look at the December 9 game update for Battlefield 6. But the devs are already teasing far bigger and more experimental features and changes for the program, offering the community a chance to drop feedback and change the shape of these additions. Just, uh… y’all remember this stuff is NDA’d, right?
“Tomorrow, we’re bringing Battlefield Labs back online,” the devs say in a message to the community posted on social media. “Earlier phases of Battlefield Labs helped us gather fast, focused feedback on new ideas before they reached our live game. We’re now evolving and building on that foundation on how we test together as a part of our commitment to deliver the biggest and most exciting Battlefield live service in franchise history.”
“In the months ahead, we’ll use Battlefield Labs to look at a broader range of early concepts and experimental scenarios that benefit from real player insight,” the devs say. “Beyond that, we are preparing future Labs sessions that explore changes to map layouts, pacing, and alternative team compositions such as smaller player counts or vehicle-focused setups.”
- New maps and experiences
- New modes and experimental rulesets
- Prototype mechanics and systems
- Environmental changes
- Future seasonal beats before they fully solidify
- Stability and performance
There will be two main types of Labs playtests going forward. “Planned play sessions” will include “either experimental, or future focused and recurring sessions around specific features or content” that players will help shape with their feedback. “Quick, short-notice sessions” will offer quicker rounds of feedback on more focused gameplay changes.
