More leaks have surfaced, showcasing the Battlefield 6 playtest, and while fans are thrilled to see destructible environments, they are concerned that another disastrous launch could be imminent. It is no secret that the release of Battlefield 2042 was a bit of a mess and faced heavy criticism for "misleading" marketing tactics. With those memories in mind, fans are worried that the devs will see such positive on the leaks and end up throwing the title into the ether prior to fully polishing it.
A recent Reddit post from follows that positive sentiment, others are concerned that this will end up forcing another launch before Battlefield 6 is fully ready.
Battlefield 6 Leaks Have Fans Worried About An Early Launch
Fans Are Concerned About a Repeat of Battlefield 2042
Fans are usually cautious when it comes to leaks in general, especially when it comes to Battlefield, given the franchise's history. SignificantDetail192 writes,
"It looks very promising but I also Dice released BF2042 and made so many wrong decision that it's hard to believe they suddenly changed. I will wait for the reviews."
Another comment from Turamb references the fear that DICE will end up shipping out an unfinished product, stating, "Executive: 'Public perception of the "leaks" are great. Let's ship it sooner.'" The franchise's latest entry, Battlefield 2042, had an incredibly poor reception upon its release. The game arrived with a plethora of bugs, and it was reported that even EA was disappointed with how the launch went.
Unfortunately, the game never truly recovered from this, as it still largely has mixed reviews on Steam. Its Steam player count is still currently lower than that of an even older title, Battlefield 1.
Our Take: The Battlefield 6 Leaks Look Promising, But I Do Hope For A Smooth Launch
While The Footage Is Impressive, The Game Shouldn't Be Rushed for Release
It has been over 2 decades since the release of the first Battlefield entry, Battlefield 1942. Since then, the franchise has seen an impressive evolution in its graphical upgrades and gameplay capabilities. The crumbling environment is one of those technological advancements that fans genuinely appreciate, and I definitely echo that sentiment. However, the reception to Battlefield 2042 still looms over the franchise, and the community has every right to be concerned about the state of the next major release.
Battlefield 6 Gameplay Footage Is Already Being Leaked Online During Its Closed Playtest
Battlefield 6 footage from its current playtest is being leaked and livestreamed online, and fans are optimistic about what they see.
If EA DICE wants to keep a good rapport with the community and not have a potential failure on their hands, it would be wise not to see any positive reception to the leaks as a sign to speed up the development process. It's understandable to be excited about an game, but fans know all too well that a rushed game can end up being a bad one. Let's hope that's not the case for Battlefield 6.
