Oh look, more Battlefield leaks.

Despite requiring participants to sign an NDA before they can get involved, players continued to share all manner of stuff last weekend, including clips of gameplay, factions, gear customisation options, its battle royale mode, and its single-player campaign.

Today, it's Rush mode. 18 minutes of it, to be precise. It was uploaded to the Chinese video site Bilibili, where it was picked up by eagle-eyed Battlefield fans and posted to the game's subreddit community.

At the time of writing, over 4000 fans have upvoted the post, sharing comparisons to Modern Warfare 2019 - not necessarily a bad thing - as well as post reflections on recoil (or lack thereof) and the speed of movement. Some wonder if the time-to-kill could still require a little adjustment while others think "pre-alpha/alpha [footage] still looks more promising, than 2042 ever did. (I kinda... enjoy 2042 today)".

Despite branding the playtest as the "most ambitious community testing program in franchise history" and requiring participants to sign an NDA, plenty of gameplay footage popped up in various corners of the internet. EA was not happy, eventually hitting back at a grumpy Reddit thread about an unsupported claim about skill-based matchmaking with "Okay, enough", and the publisher has seemingly been busy trying to plug the most recent leaks, too.

Pretty much all we officially know about the next Battlefield so far is that it's set in the modern day, and will bring back traditional classes and more focused maps after the unpopular changes made in Battlefield 2042. Beyond that, it's all speculation - although one sleuth scoured the new game's concept art and identified landmarks suggesting it could be set in Gibraltar. EA confirmed it expects the series' latest instalment to arrive before April next year.
