ABattlefield 6trailer recently leaked online, getting fans of the franchise excited for an official reveal, but it’s been confirmed that the trailer was only meant for internal purposes, rather than being a finalized trailer as som had assumed.
The leakedBattlefield 6trailer in question appeared on Reddit on May 26. In the center of the footage is a black bar with the LOL meme that covers an identifying EA watermark, which EA places to identify who leaks footage. Watermarks are typically inserted in the middle of footage by developers to reduce the likelihood of leaks like this while the team works on an official reveal trailer.

During therecently leakedBattlefield 6trailer, the screen flashes several times in a similar method used inBattlefield 3.Troops rush a rocket launching pad while a storm rages on, barking orders at each other as they approach the rocket before blast-off. The footage then shows the rocket accelerating to the sky, before flipping horizontally and falling to the ground below. Additionally, Aerial vehicles fly overhead as squads of soldiers traverse atropical island, and a tornado forms abovethe rocket launch pad.
The leakedBattlefield 6footage was meant for internal purposes according to Eurogamer, and EA plans to release a more polished trailer in June, which fans will likely get to see at one of the events taking place next month. While the leaked trailer appeared completed, it may not end up as the official trailer forBattlefield 6.This serves as a great reminder for fans of the franchise to take the leaked footage with a grain of salt, and to reserve some judgment for the officialreveal of the multi-genBattlefieldtitle. EA has confirmed that it will host an EA Play event on July 22, whereBattlefieldfans can expect to learn more details aboutBattlefield 6following the June reveal.
The nature of the leak also suggests thatEA is still working on the trailer internally, and may not have settled on the final version yet. Considering how regularly the leaked footage fades in and out, EA may decide on more consistent footage in an official reveal to avoid any epilepsy triggers.
Falling in line with existingBattlefield 6leaks, the next Battlefield title will offer a modern warfare setting similar toBattlefield 3andBattlefield 4. EA may have planned for this trailer to remain internal, but it won’t be long before the developers officially unveil the nextBattlefield.
Battlefield 6is expected to release for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S later this year.
