EA brought a number of trailers for some of its biggest games in development, including multiple trailers for Anthem and Unravel 2. For every story out of the event, head over to our full EA Play at E3 2018 coverage page. For a quick look at what went down, here are all the trailers that played during the press conference. Anthem Anthem’s trailer focuses on a storm that threatens to wipe out an entire civilization. The anthem is the only thing that remains, says a player in the game, as humans take on giant extra-terrestrial looking creatures. On a world left unfinished by the gods, humanity struggles to survive in a savage environment. Equipped with incredible Javelin exosuits, a faction known as the Freelancers seeks to tip the balance in mankind’s favor. Command and Conquer: Rivals Command and Conquer: Rivals is EA’s mobile addition to the long-running franchise. The game should appeal to RTS and mobile fans who are looking for a new game to get their hands on. Sea of Solitude Sea of Solitude is best summed up by Polygon’s own Colin Campbell, who said the trailer and game looked like “a lovely tale of sadness and suffering.” Unravel 2 Unravel 2 marks the return of everyone’s favorite — or perhaps least favorite — character constructed from yarn. The trailer for the platform’s sequel looks like it will take many of its aesthetic cues from the first game, which was released in 2016. FIFA 2019 The UEFA Champions League is coming to FIFA 19. It’s quite possibly one of the most important announcements for FIFA fans who have been asking for this mode for years. Madden NFL 19 It simply wouldn’t be an EA Play event at E3 without a trailer for a new Madden game. NBA Live 19 The new trailer for NBA Live 19 follows the Golden State Warrior’s 4-0 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, and securing the trophy for yet another year. It’s a good time to be a fan of both. Origin Access Premiere A new subscription service for PC fans was announced during EA’s keynote. Details can be found in the trailer. Battlefield 5 multiplayer More Battlefield 5 footage will be shown at Xbox’s keynote presentation on Monday, but we did get a quick look at the game’s multiplayer mode. Another look at the multiplayer mode can be seen in this NVIDIA trailer, below.<doc-sep>EA Play 2018 - New Star Wars game, FIFA 19 and Battlefield 5 Battle Royale E3 reveals?

EA Play 2018 marks the third year that the California-based gaming giant has done their own thing outside the official E3 show floor. Taking place one day ahead of the Microsoft and Bethesda conferences, it means EA gets the attention of the whole gaming world early on during E3. But what can gamers expect from EA Play 2018? Last year during the EA Play event the latest instalments of big name franchises were announced. However, there were also a few surprises - most notably the announcement of co-op prison game A Way Out. And with EA Play 2018 gamers may also be in store for some surprise reveals alongside some staple announcements. Ahead of EA Play 2018 and E3 2018 kicking off, Express.co.uk has rounded up some games that could get showcased in LA today. Battlefield 5 screenshots for PS4, Xbox One Wed, May 23, 2018 BATTLEFIELD V returns to WW2, complete with Grand Operations, a new live service and lots more. Play slideshow EA 1 of 13 Battlefield 5 launches on October 19, 2018 EA PLAY 2018 - NEW STAR WARS GAME SET FOR REVEAL? EA has one mysterious Star Wars game up their sleeves that fans would love to get a look at. It all starts back in 2013, when Dead Space developer Visceral began work on a brand new Star Wars game. Naughty Dog’s brilliant Amy Hennig, who wrote the first three Unchartered games, was brought onboard as a creative lead for the project. Hennig was working with another big name player, Assassin’s Creed visionary Jade Raymond, on the game. The Visceral developed Star Wars game was described as a “story-based, linear adventure” in the style of the Nathan Drake series. It had all the hallmarks of a sure-fire hit. EA Play 2018 could showcase more on the revamped Visceral Star Wars project Fans had seen the potential in an action-adventure single player Star Wars game with trailers for the cancelled Star Wars 1313 project. It was hoped the Visceral game could fill the gap that defunct LucasArts project left behind. However, in October 2017 EA revealed they were shutting down Visceral Games studio and making changes to their Star Wars project. At the time EA executive vice president Patrick Söderlund said a “significant change” would be made to the title. He said: “Throughout the development process, we have been testing the game concept with players, listening to the feedback about what and how they want to play, and closely tracking fundamental shifts in the marketplace. EA Play 2018 is the first major event of the E3 festivities “It has become clear that to deliver an experience that players will want to come back to and enjoy for a long time to come, we needed to pivot the design. We will maintain the stunning visuals, authenticity in the Star Wars universe, and focus on bringing a Star Wars story to life. “Importantly, we are shifting the game to be a broader experience that allows for more variety and player agency, leaning into the capabilities of our Frostbite engine and reimagining central elements of the game to give players a Star Wars adventure of greater depth and breadth to explore.” A new development team has taken over the project, which originally had a release date pencilled in for the 2019 financial year. It remains to be seen when the revamped Star Wars game will be released, and what shape or form it could take. However, if EA are hoping to build excitement for the project then the perfect place to give a glimpse of it would be during EA Play 2018. Battlefield 5: The official reveal trailer EA PLAY 2018 - BATTLEFIELD 5 EA last month lifted the lid on Battlefield 5, which sees the DICE shooter return to its Second World War roots. So far a brief teaser trailer has been revealed and EA Play 2018 more may be revealed on its single player campaign and multiplayer. Battlefield 5 has also been rumoured, like Call of Duty 4 Black Ops, to go up against Fortnite and PUBG with its own Battle Royale mode. If that’s the case then E3 2018 would be the perfect place to announce a mode that would generate huge fan excitement. Anthem game - Pictures from BioWare's new title showcased on Xbox One X Mon, June 19, 2017 Anthem game - Pictures from BioWare's new title showcased on Xbox One X at E3 2017 Play slideshow BIOWARE 1 of 8 BioWare’s new game Anthem will be coming out on the PS4, Xbox One and PC<doc-sep>It's also been revealed Anthem will offer co-op in a shared world experience, allowing you to team up with friends. However, there is also a main hub for story and side quests. We also got a look at the game in action. From what was shown in the demo, it appears Anthem will be a mix of Destiny and Mass Effect. Anthem will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order We finally got confirmation on the name of the new Star Wars game by Respawn. Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order is set "during the dark times, when the Jedi are being hunted", and between the third and forth films. Though we didn't get any more details on the upcoming title, we do know it's due for release Holiday 2019. Battlefront V Surprise, surprise, Battlefield V will have a Battle Royale mode which will release shortly after the game's launch on October 19. No further details about Battle Royale mode were revealed but we did get more details about the main game. Apparently, you'll be able to dive and smash through windows, move (previously stationary) weapons around the battlefield, customise soldiers, vehicles, and weapons, and the destruction system is back (so no hiding from tanks.) EA Dice also confirmed there will not be microtransactions in Battlefield V.<doc-sep>FIFA 19 will be released Sept. 28, with the European Champions League featured throughout the game, publisher Electronic Arts announced today during EA Play 2018. EA Sports picked up the license to the UEFA Champions League following the end of a 10-year deal between European sports body UEFA and Konami, for its Pro Evolution Soccer series. The Champions League is an annual contest featuring the best clubs in Europe. EA’s soccer simulation has long trumped PES for official licenses, though the absence of the elite Champions League had left a significant gap. We’ll have more on FIFA 19 in the weeks ahead, including hands-on impressions and a full breakdown of the game’s modes and improvements over FIFA 18. It’s due to be released on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One. Speaking of FIFA 18, a free trial of the game is available now on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.<doc-sep>
FIFA 19 has been officially unveiled at EA's E3 press conference, meaning we've received our first glance at some of the new features coming in this year's edition of the sports phenomenon. We also got a platform list: It's headed to PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. FIFA 19 is coming on September 28, although pre-ordering the Champions Edition will get you access three days early, beginning on September 25. EA Play also brought the news that FIFA 19 will boast the UEFA Champions League license after primary rivals PES and Konami lost the rights to all UEFA club competitions earlier this year. The news means FIFA has a near monopoly over the world's major soccer licenses, including the 2018 World Cup, which came to FIFA 18 just recently. PES 2019 is coming earlier than usual this year; FIFA's challenger will launch before the end of August, meaning it has a several week head start over FIFA 19. Last year's FIFA, meanwhile, was well-received at launch. We awarded the sports game a 7/10 in our FIFA 18 review. "It's off the pitch that EA excels," we said. "From the variety of game modes on offer and how everything's presented, to the constant updates in FUT's Team of the Week, Daily Objectives, and discussion of real-world happenings in commentary, FIFA 18 captures the world of football and confidently translates it into a video game. On the pitch, however, EA's soccer series is still lagging far behind PES 2018's more fluid, satisfying football. This year's improvements are welcome, but more needs to be done in the coming years if FIFA is to be a world-beater once again." We'll have more FIFA details from E3 as it's announced.
