Battlefield Labs is a new community development collaboration announced by EA and the collective Battlefield Studios teams, allowing players to get involved and directly help influence the future of the Battlefield series. Through playtesting, the community will get hands-on experience of new concepts in development, then will provide feedback to shape what gets taken forward or ends up on the cutting room floor. If you'd like a chance to get involved in this process, here's how to sign up for Battlefield Labs.

To sign up for Battlefield Labs, you need to follow this sign up link and log in with your EA account details, before being taken to the next stage of the registration process.

Over time we'll invite tens of thousands more with support for further territories."
What is Battlefield Labs?
Battlefield Labs is a new initiative from the collective Battlefield Studios teams working on the next title in the series, to test fresh ideas and experiences with players so they can be worked on and refined before release. Under a non-disclosure agreement, those players selected to participate will playtest and feedback on all elements of gameplay, starting with core combat and destruction before moving on to vehicles, weapons, maps, game modes, and even iconic elements such as the class system.
