Battlefield 7 producer warns players of leaks. „This BF may look to play one way, but...”
A representative from Electronic Arts referred to earlier leaks of Battlefield 7.
Electronic Arts had to expect that the Battlefield 7 tests would result in leaks - materials depicting environmental destruction and the controversial "3D spotting" mechanics have surfaced online. Recently, David Sirland, the developer of the shooter, referred to them on X.
The developer warned fans about the gameplay materials shared online. He emphasized that they come from tests conducted within "Battlefield Labs," in which developers check various projects and solutions. Thus, the revealed mechanics don't have to be in the final game.
This BF may look to play one way, but I assure you it also has many layers you need to play to perceive. A key reason (outside of making a BF everyone wants to play) to use something like Labs. llowing us as devs to find the best possible outcome of our designs--together [with the players].
The community's opinion is to be key in developing Battlefield 7, as evidenced by many playtests. Nonetheless, Sirland highlighted that while player opinions are crucial to the studio, the development of a shooter game doesn't rely solely on them. Other data are still being considered.
This also does not mean that opinions become what drives development. We use equal amounts of feedback, data, and confirmation connected to the goals we have for our various design areas. Some of these we'll rewamp based on outcomes--but a majority we'll hone the balance of.
At the moment, it's not known when the seventh installment will hit the shops. According to earlier reports, EA may decide to delay the release to avoid confrontation with GTA 6, which is set to launch in the second half of 2025.
