Battlefield Labs, a new testing environment created to help develop the next entry in the series, was announced today with a new video that also features pre-alpha footage of the yet-to-be-officially announced game.
Battlefield Labs is the most ambitious community testing program in the history of the franchise and is being launched as the next entry in the series has reached a critical phase in development, which will benefit from the community's input. The first phase of the testing will go live in the coming weeks, and the initial tests will include an invited group of players in Europe and North America, with plans to expand the number of invited players and server locations in the future. Sign-ups have been opened and can be found on the series' official website. A video explaining the new testing environment and what Battlefield Studios aims to achieve with it, featuring some pre-alpha footage of the next entry in the series, can be found below.
Very little is currently known about the next entry in the Battlefield, other than the fact that it is in the works. The studio working on the game is comprised of DICE, the creators of the series, Ripple Effect, Motive and Criterion.
