EA DICE Announces Battlefield Labs

Today, the storied Battlefield franchise known for uncompromising all-out warfare and world-class gameplay for over two decades, announced the most ambitious community testing program in franchise history - Battlefield Labs. The work on the next Battlefield experience is entering a critical phase in development that will benefit from collaboration with the community like never before.

Sign Up for Battlefield Labs Are Now Open
The first phase of Battlefield Labs testing will go live in the coming weeks, and sign up to players is available now at battlefield.com/labs. Initial tests will include an invited group of players and servers located in Europe and North America ahead of plans to expand invitees and server locations in the future.
"I've been playing Battlefield long before I joined the team," says Vince Zampella, Head of Respawn & Group GM for EA Studios Organization. "This game has so much potential. To find that potential, with us being pre-alpha, now is the time to test the experiences our teams have been building for our upcoming launch. Battlefield Labs empowers our teams to do that."

Players can stay up to date on the latest public testing information by keeping an eye on battlefield.com/labs. Our community will receive published updates from the team throughout testing so that even those who are not selected for Battlefield Labs can still come along for the ride. All the feedback provided during Battlefield Labs tests will influence the development of the next Battlefield title and beyond.

Battlefield Labs plays a significant role in the development that Battlefield Studios is doing for the series. Battlefield Studios is comprised of DICE, creators of the Battlefield franchise; Ripple Effect, a studio led by franchise veterans working on an all-new experience for the series; Motive, the developers of the critically acclaimed Star Wars Squadrons and Dead Space; and Criterion, known for world-class racing franchises and playing a key role in several Battlefield entries.

Meh, they know and I know that they have not learned anything and will simply repeat the same mistakes just to score few ESG points.

It will be a politicized game that will lack basic features like a proper score page, voice / text chat to "prevent toxicity" and will try to garner attention from new playerbase that are not that interested in this genre.

The BF series has been on a downward spiral since the release of BF1, I would be surprised if they actually learned anything.

A simple carbon-copy remake of BC2 would sell them more than whatever they are making now.

Dice / EA needs to allow server hosting and mods again. Otherwise it's another dead Battlefield game. The reason why BF3 lasted so long was because personal hosting.

This is a very roundabout way of saying "we cut costs and moved jobs to cheaper markets so please help us make our game because we bled the talent that used to know how to do that".

I do not understand the need to put everything behind marketing BS. Just be honest with customers for once.

they have done this for previous games too (it just wasn't called labs), they then launched a turd like bf2042 which missed basic features and included things like operators which were universally hated

BF2 was perfect, I just couldn't play it anymore due to their utterly idiotic and disgusting "anti-cheat" system which wouldn't let me enter a battle ‍♂️
