EA reveals 'Battlefield Labs' and 'Battlefield Studio' alongside gameplay footage of the upcoming title

While the announcement video focused majorly on the introduction of both the lab and the studio, the last four seconds were particularly interesting. In the final part of the video, we can see the very first footage of the upcoming Battlefield title. At first glance, it looks to be a modern-day title, like Battlefield IV. One part of the footage also confirms that it takes place on November 11, 2024.

Furthermore, in the video, Alma Talbot, Director of Production for Motive Studio, officially confirmed that the team is working on a single-player campaign. This means that after Battlefield V, some iconic missions should also be returning.

On its official social media channels, Battlefield has revealed that it is introducing Battlefield Studios, where four studios from across the globe come together to shape the future of the franchise.

The four studios in the list are DICE, Criterion, Motive, and Ripple Effect. Furthermore, there is a brand new initiative called Battlefield Labs, where the entire community will be able to test the game's mechanism and provide feedback for improvements.
