A Battlefield 6 trailer recently leaked online, getting fans of the franchise excited for an official reveal, but it's been confirmed that the trailer was only meant for internal purposes, rather than being a finalized trailer as som had assumed.

The leaked Battlefield 6 trailer in question appeared on Reddit on May 26. In the center of the footage is a black bar with the LOL meme that covers an identifying EA watermark, which EA places to identify who leaks footage. Watermarks are typically inserted in the middle of footage by developers in order to reduce the likelihood of leaks like this while the team works on an official reveal trailer.

During the recently leaked Battlefield 6 trailer, the screen flashes several times in a similar method used in Battlefield 3. Troops rush a rocket launching pad while a storm rages on, barking orders at each other as they approach the rocket before blast-off. The footage then shows the rocket accelerating to the sky, before flipping horizontally and falling to the ground below. Additionally, Aerial vehicles fly overhead as squads of soldiers traverse a tropical island, and a tornado forms above the rocket launch pad.

The leaked Battlefield 6 footage was meant for internal purposes according to Eurogamer, and EA plans to release a more polished trailer in June, which fans will likely get to see at one of the events taking place next month. While the leaked trailer appeared completed, it may not end up as the official trailer for Battlefield 6. This serves as a great reminder for fans of the franchise to take the leaked footage with a grain of salt, and to reserve some judgment for the official reveal of the multi-gen Battlefield title. EA has confirmed that it will host an EA Play event on July 22, where Battlefield fans can expect to learn more details about Battlefield 6 following the June reveal.

The nature of the leak also suggests that EA is still working on the trailer internally, and may not have settled on the final version yet. Considering how regularly the leaked footage fades in and out, EA may decide on more consistent footage in an official reveal to avoid any epilepsy triggers.

Falling in line with existing Battlefield 6 leaks, the next Battlefield title will offer a modern warfare setting similar to Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4. EA may have planned for this trailer to remain internal, but it won't be long before the developers officially unveil the next Battlefield.

Battlefield 6 is expected to release for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S later this year.
