A newly uncovered line of code suggests that an open beta for the next Battlefield game may be announced soon. This revelation adds to a growing list of leaks from developers who have faced difficulties in keeping details under wraps.
Considering EA’s plans for a major Battlefield reveal in the summer of 2025, it’s highly likely an open beta could soon follow.
One of the recent leaks confirmed the inclusion of a battle royale mode in this upcoming title. EA and DICE seem to be targeting a significantly larger readership than in previous entries like Battlefield 2042, which attracted approximately 22 million players. For this next installment, they’re aiming for 100 million players, and the introduction of a battle royale mode is one of the strategies they plan to utilize.
According to a recent report on Battlefield 6, a line of code was found during the latest client update that included the phrase “Battlefield 6 Open Beta.” Although it’s a minor detail, this marks the first time any code from the developer has provided insight into either the title of the new game or EA’s beta testing strategy. While it’s possible that this is not the title’s final phrase, the mention that a beta test is planned indicates fans might not have to wait much longer before the event occurs. As seen with Battlefield 2042, it can be expected that an open beta will likely take place, although an official release date has yet to be disclosed.
EA’s current project, dubbed Battlefield 6, lacks an official title for now. This detail may be officially confirmed or dismissed at the upcoming Battlefield summer reveal. It’s not uncommon for developers to utilize codenames during development, suggesting Battlefield 6 may not be the conclusive title. However, the insights from Battlefield developers indicate EA’s direction for the franchise, potentially giving fans a better view of what to expect.
Recent information regarding various game modes reveals that this upcoming title will differ significantly from its predecessor, Battlefield 2042. Since EA has already exceeded its budget while developing this game, it appears clear that this installment aims to be one of the biggest in the franchise’s history. Fans may soon have the opportunity to enroll in the open beta, allowing them to experience what the next Battlefield title has to offer.
