Screenshots reported to be from Battlefield 6 (now confirmed to beBattlefield 2042) have leaked online, just ahead of the game’splanned June 9 reveal.
There are four images in total, all posted by the Twitter accountBattlefield Newsand uploaded toImguras well. The images show a city scape, a ground-based view of a helicopter and player-view of a tank and aircraft in use. They also give a look at the game’s UI, with the mini-map, party lists and equipment lists appearing in three of the four screenshots.
According to Battlefield News (viaGamesRadar), the images were taken from a recent “game test“ and one of the images is marked as being “pre-alpha footage”. While there isn’t any confirmed source for the images and it’s always best to take these things with a pinch of salt, established Battlefield leaker Tom Henderson hastweetedto claim “they are real”.

It’s worth noting that what’s shown in the images appears to match up with the near-future setting thatprevious reports and leakshave suggested the game will have.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen images apparently from Battlefield 6 leaked online. It was only acouple of weeks agothat footage and screenshots from what is supposedly the game’s reveal trailer were leaked.
More to come
Though these images are less blurry and redacted than those that have been leaked previously, it’s still hard to get a real sense of how the game is going to look from them.
Fortunately, it’s really not long to wait until we see official, proper,crystal clearfootage from Battlefield 6 (and presumably find out its official title beyond the widely used Battlefield 6 placeholder). EA has confirmed that the game’s official reveal will take place just ahead ofE3 2021, on June 9 at 3pm BST / 7am PT / 10am ET (or June 10 at 12am AEST). It’s likely there’ll be even more to see atEA Play Live 2021, set to take place in July.
