Yesterday, EA kicked off the E3 2017 announcements w/ their EA Play announcements for all of the big & exciting titles making way to arrive for gaming consoles & the PC. We grabbed the bigger & more interesting titles and listed them along w/ their gameplay trailers down below.
You'll see the return of some franchises and a few new ones as well. Time to dive into the future of EA's vision for gaming.
Anthem
From the makers of Mass Effect, BioWare Edmonton has been hard at work on a new project they've been keeping secret. It looks like its trying to go head-to-head w/ the likes of Destiny. Below is the 1st teaser look at Anthem.
A Way Out
Something new from the Hazelight from the studio who brought you Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons. Welcome to A Way Out: think Prison Break in video game format that can be played split-screen co-op. Very interesting. Due out sometime in early 2018.
Need For Speed Payback
In a revenge mission against the Cartel, you'll follow 3 characters in an open world layout w/ new customizations, driving styles, and more. Think of it as a mesh of Fast & Furious and my last favorite racing series: Burnout. You can get your hands on this on November 10th.
NBA Live 18
Returning after a slight hiatus of taking last year off, NBA Live returns w/ The One. A new way to play that combines street & league play to take you from the east to the west coast of ballers. It doesn't have a release date but a free demo of the game will be out in August.
Madden NFL 18
Another year, another Madden. EA made sure to treat this year a bit different. Madden 18 adds a new story mode called Longshot where you play as a young man, Devin Wade, w/ hopes to be good enough to play in the NBA. They added star-power by making Devin's dad the Oscar-winning Mahershala Ali of Moonlight & Luke Cage. This will land in stores on August 25th.
FIFA 18
New FIFA brings forth improved gameplay and a new campaign that follows the career of Alex Hunter and his rise into football. Also, FIFA 18 will be heading to the Nintendo Switch optimized & customized so there will be some features MIA. Both versions of the game will arrive on September 29th.
Star Wars Battlefront II
And last but not least, more info on the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront sequel. We got an offline story mode, free DLC, and content from all 3 eras of Star Wars. So this will grant you access from everyone to Darth Maul to Rey and everyone else in between. All w/ new heroes, weapons, maps. vehicles, weapons, & more. Look for the game to arrive on November 17th.
