Summary
A new datamine leak has revealed multiple class specializations that may make their way into the next installment of theBattlefieldseries. The massively popular military FPS franchise has not seen a new entry since the release ofBattlefield 2042almost five years ago, which received a lukewarm reception across the board. Since the lastBattlefieldtitle yielded less-than-impressive results with both fans and critics, the game’s developers will likely be looking to redeem themselves with the upcoming installment and win back players, both new and old.
TheBattlefieldfranchise has been a staple of the FPS genre since it exploded onto gamers' screens over 20 years ago. Since the first title launched, theBattlefieldseries has produced plenty of hit games, includingBattlefield 3andBattlefield 1942. However, of all the titles released under theBattlefieldumbrella, it’sBattlefield 4that has the most in common with the new leak that has recently surfaced.
Asreported by MP1ST, a Battlefield Labs datamine has revealed that the upcoming game will potentially feature five class specializations, a returning feature fromBattlefield 4. In that game, class specializations were known as Field Upgrades. The new class specializations include Fire Support, Engineer Anti-Vehicle, Mechanic, Recon, and Pathfinder, and each will have four levels that offer increasing benefits. However, as the leak was datamined, none of these developments are certain to make it into the final cut of the game.

EA introduced Battlefield Labsas a community collaboration between players and developers, aimed at making the next installment a return to form for the iconic franchise. The Battlefield Labs leak notes some of the benefits on offer for players with the new class specializations, including faster ammo resupply, improved weapon mounting, vehicle damage enhancements, and tactical support options.
Recently,Battlefielddataminers uncovered evidence of a premium subscription servicecalled Battlefield Pro. The possibility of a new monetization system for the upcoming game allegedly includes access to all battle pass content, exclusive instant unlocks, an XP boost, and 20 tier skips, among other perks. However, the extra money fans will have to shell out if the subscription leak is true, will likely be controversial with many players.
With therelease ofBattlefield 6slated for sometime during the 2026 fiscal year, rumors and anticipation surrounding it are growing. For now, fans will have to wait and see if the datamined leaks uncovered to date make it into the game and in what form.
