Summary

  • In an attempt to avoid a disastrous launch, EA has established Battlefield Labs, a way for the community to provide input and feedback on the next title.
  • However, it quickly became the source of leaks, some of which were lacking context and potentially detrimental.
  • Taking to Reddit, the game's community manager spoke out against leakers and those dampening the community-based initiative.

Back in February, EA broke 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:its silence regarding its next instal𓄧lment in the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Battlefield franchise. In introducing Battlefield Labs, the s♑tudio affirmed its desire to avoid another disastrous launch by partnering with gamers through 🧸in-de❀pth closed tests.

Shortly after, over 1.🧸3 million tried to sign up for Battlefield Labs in hopes of shaping a game 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:that isn't expe𝔉cted to launch before April 2026. By March 7, footage of the 🌼playtest was alreaꦕdy being livestreamed and leaked online. If players weren't streaming their gameplay, 168澳洲🍒幸运5开奖🧸网:they were sharing their opinions online, all of this despite ag🎶reeing to a Non-Disclosure Agreement, or NDA.

Things quickly came to a head earlier this week, when datamined internal code showed that the next Battlefield game will have some form of Skill-Based Matchmakiౠng (SBMM). Naturally, that sent the community into a spiral, leading to lead producer David Sirland to comment on the matter, asking fan🌱s to "calm this thing down a tad," while explaining what is going on.

Now, its Community M𒀰anager has also taken a stand against the rampant leaks.

Battlefield Labs Doesn't Work If Everyone Is Leaking Everything

, Global Community Manager T0TALfps effectively told players that leaks aren't helping the situation, especially when they come from a place lacking cont༺ext behind them.

Specifically, they noted that the team had been wanting to implement Battlefield Labs for some time, "responding to your ꧒requests for greater involvement and a return to this type of reactivity around all things Battlefield."

However, "information and content that gets shared is out of context and often with a narrative wrapped around it that is doing damage to the trust and transparency we want to establish." As such, people will continue to be removed if they v🌟iolate the NDA.

In a final note, they reestablished that things are "only official when we share it, and we are comfortable with t🦩he topic at hand."

It's no secret that leaks can be heavily detrimental, especially when they lack surrounding information. As was the case with the SBMM leak, which sent the community into a panic. Beyond coming down harder on leakers, it remains to be seen what more EA can do to avoid further damage or information spreading prematurely🐼 and inaccurately.
