Battlefield 6 Leaks Have Me Very Excited About EA's Upcoming Shooter
After the disastrous 2021 launch of Battlefield 2042 and the poor sales of Battlefield V in 2018, the long-running FPS war franchise was in rough shape. Fans weren't sure what to expect next and many wished the series would return to the class-based, modern combat glory days of Battlefield 2, 3, and 4. And that seems to be exactly what's happening, judging by leaked gameplay from the next Battlefield.
Last week, EA and Dice launched the game's first playtest as part of Battlefield Labs, an ongoing testing program designed to help the studios working on the sequel get lots of feedback early, hopefully leading to a better, more successful online FPS. The tests are supposed to be closed and players were forced to sign NDAs forbidding them from sharing any gameplay. But then, of course, a ton of players broke those NDAs and posted clips on Reddit, YouTube, and Twitter.
Some of these clips show new features and details not seen before in the series, and a result they have gone viral in the Battlefield community. One clip reveals that players will be able to grab downed comrades and drag them behind cover to heal them and get them back in the fight. This is something other military shooters have done and fans have wanted it in Battlefield for some time now.
Another popular clip showed a player getting shot by a powerful sniper rifle and being sent flying back. This is new and makes snipers even scarier to face. Players are impressed by the level of destruction seen in some leaks, too.
The other thing people seem happy about is less specific and more of just a general vibe from these leaks that seems to indicate that the next Battlefield game, which still has a wide release window of fiscal 2026, is looking a lot like a next-gen evolution of Battlefield 3 and 4. The combat looks more grounded and modern, unlike that in 2042. Even the UI elements and HUD seem ripped out of BF4. And I'm excited to report that classes seem to play very differently from each other, harkening back to the older games in the franchise.
There's a lot of excitement around the leaks, which probably explains why EA seems to be looking the other way and not removing them. Some have remained on Reddit for days now, despite bringing in thousands of upvotes, views, and comments. I also wonder if EA understands better than other companies that removing leaked content sometimes just makes it spread further and gain more views as people seek out forbidden knowledge.
But to be clear, EA doesn't like people leaking content, at least officially. One developer, replying to leaked footage of someone dragging an injured teammate away from combat, clarified that he is 'not okay' with the leaks. He also warned players that EA plans to deal with them 'accordingly.'
So expect these leaks to be removed...eventually. Probably. Just, maybe after a few more days of positive press and fan hype, something the Battlefield franchise has been lacking for years now.

Renee Rapp Criticizes Fan's Labubu Doll
This is Reneé Rapp — icon, pop star, truthteller, and queen of saying the quiet part out loud. Like on Friday, when she got really honest with a fan about what she thought of their Labubu doll. Labubu, if you don't know, is a line of collectible monster toys designed by Chinese illustrator Kasing Lung. They're usually furry and colorful, with rabbit-like ears and jagged, mischievous smiles. They originated in Lung's 2015 series The Monsters, but surged in popularity this year, with many fans wearing them on their belts and bags. Reneé was at a release party for her new album, Bite Me, when a fan approached her and asked her to sign their doll. Reneé looked visibly taken aback as the fan encouraged her to "just sign its face." Taking the doll, Reneé said, "Bro. These are so fucking ugly." The fan laughed, "No, you love it." "I don't," Reneé replied, laughing. Still, she signed the doll, and when the fan playfully apologized for interrupting her event, Reneé replied, "It's okay. It's nice to meet you." But she still couldn't get over the doll's odd appearance because she then repeated, "This shit is so ugly to me." The clip of the moment quickly went viral online, with many praising Reneé's unfiltered comments — and echoing her thoughts. One Reddit user called her so "honest and real." Another confessed, "This kinda made me stan her." "I appreciate how she made it clear she wasn't criticizing the person filming - just the doll itself," someone added, while another fan praised this "age of celebs being relatable with fans." But not everyone enjoyed the exchange. Some viewers thought Renee's comments were a smidge rude. "i agree but she could've just signed it and moved on. she didn't need to make the person feel bad about something they were excited about," one critic said. Another added, "I mean… isn't that the whole point, that they're supposed to be ugly? It's still kinda rude to be so snarky about it to someone who clearly enjoys it…" A third chimed in to say, "They ain't for me— I'm a lifelong Sanrio gal— but can't we just let people like what they like? I find it especially awkward to say something is ugly to the person who clearly loved it enough to buy it and carry it with them." "People allergic to joy," someone else wrote. "If collecting them makes people happy, who cares what you think? Nobody judges people who collect Pokémon cards or Funko Pops. We're going through a hellish time right now. People are dying. Who cares what little toy people are obsessed with? Let people live." And this last person didn't hold back on their thoughts at all, writing, "Theyre ugly, but idk why people bitch about others liking them. The world is burning let them have their ugly dolls." What do you think of Labubus and this fan exchange? Tell me in the comments.
