Putting Our Players First.

Our players are the driving force behind everything we do. So this summer, we’re opening up our world to you with unique new live events in Los Angeles and London. We’ll bring the new games, we’ll bring the demos, we’ll bring the competition…and you get to go hands-on. Or join us online and immerse yourself to experience some of our biggest games of the year. Let’s live to play together.

2 locations simultaneously : LA and London.
LA runs for 3 days, (12-14th), London for only a day (12th).

There'll be a Press Conference on the 12th so it's also going to have announcements.

Edit :

EA's going the whole mile. RIP EA@E3.

how much of it will just be sports though?

This is just after E3 right? So probably no announcements etc.

Sports is great, but it will probably also have Titanfall 2, Battlefield 5 and Mass Effect.

Better question is will Pelé be back?

Just before E3. Last day of this is the first official show day of E3.

Matush · Jan 27, 2016

Press Conference Live & Online: June 12, 1 p.m. PT/9 p.m. GMT

So I guess this is replacing their E3 conference.

jsnepo · Jan 27, 2016

Probably Madden and Fifa mostly.

brawly · Jan 27, 2016

This better replace E3. There is no way in hell I'm gonna sit through two of those awful conferences.

I would presume they'll have a conference to kick it off on the 12th.

The "normal" E3 conference for them would be on the 13th if they followed the same pattern as previous years.

edit: yes... looks like they're just having their press conference a day earlier than usual.

Chobel · Jan 27, 2016

When is E3 by the way?

CryptiK · Jan 27, 2016

They are going to want to announce TF2 and Battlefield 5 waaaay before E3 to rebuild all the hype each franchise has lost.

June 14-16

Day 0 aka Press Conference Day : June 13th
Day 1 aka Floor Opens : June 14th

Seems like this year, rather than have their usual June 13th slot, EA is pulling a Bethesda + PSX and have their own dedicated event before the press conference day with a consumer event to boot.

Damn wanted to make this joke.

I assume a lot of Mass Effect stuff, maybe mobile stuff?

That plus all of the big EA games showing up at the Microsoft and Sony events anyway. There's no way I'd bother with that much EA.

It's January and we're already talking about E3. Love it.

Probably not much since ea mostly develops action/shooter games especially this year.

On topic: either bf 5 or bc3 are getting announced and maybe the bioware Star Wars game.

napalmjam · Jan 27, 2016

Sports and shooting WOW MUST WATCH!

Begaria · Jan 27, 2016

If they're putting this on, they might be going all out for Mass Effect: Andromeda. Maybe even a Titanfall 2 official announcement.

As long as DICE has the attitude that humor is the reason why BC wasn't as big as they feel it could've been, then they should just leave it alone. Don't fuck up what that series is by turning it into the bland world and characters they create with the mainline campaigns.

SpideySenses · Jan 27, 2016

If Mass Effect is truly a 2016 title, then it makes sense to give the big gameplay reveal here.

Hibiki Kurosawa · Jan 27, 2016

Hey, I'd like to play Mass Effect: Andromeda early.

kadotsu · Jan 27, 2016

4 hours of ultimate team unboxing videos to get the youtube crowd.

ThoughtsOfSpeaking · Jan 27, 2016

Ea is seriously about making all 3 platform holders irrelevant.

I get the impression they want the influence of a console maker, without actually launching a console.

Auctopus · Jan 27, 2016

I will be surprised if London did not = 120 FIFA booths and power-point presentations for everything else.

Quentyn · Jan 27, 2016

Both BF3 and 4 were revelead Feb/March, so I can see the same thing happening with 5.

Zukkoyaki · Jan 27, 2016

I can envision this being quite a hit. EA is poised to have a truly remarkable line-up over the next couple of years:

- Mirror's Edge, Titanfall 2, Battlefield 5, Mass Effect: Andromeda, Visceral's Star Wars, Criterion's new IP, and of course the sports line-up.

Love em or hate, there's no denying EA's significant pull in the industry.

UnderWaterTree · Jan 27, 2016

I think they had something like this before called EA Summer Showcase cool anyways

This needs to be put in the OP.

I would rather have Maradona, also it would be fun to see him talking trash about Blatter and Platini after the FIFA scandal.

In all seriousness, beginning of the end of E3. You could kinda see it with all the other shows forming around it. But this is I think the first real sign that it's relevance is going to dwindle dramatically this gen.

salromano · Jan 27, 2016

Yay for Sunday conference. Makes Monday so much easier for me. :3

BlackBuzzard · Jan 27, 2016

This is just going to be 2 days of interviewing Pele isn't it? Does EA even have the content to keep people busy for 2 days?

Done.

FIFA
Madden
NBA
NHL
UFC
The Sims
Battlefront DLC
Battlefield 5
Mass Effect : Andromeda
Mirror's Edge : Catalyst
Titanfall 2

So... yes.

black070 · Jan 27, 2016

Mass Effect blow out for release during the holidays.

ashecitism · Jan 27, 2016

Do we expect BF5 and TitanFall 2 to come out in the same window or the latter will be spring next year?

You're forgetting the two other Star Wars games and the criterion game

I think the general expectation is BF5 for this holiday and Titanfall for Q1/Q2 2017

MatrixMan.EXE · Jan 27, 2016

Expecting BF5, Titanfall 2 and obviously ME:A. Should be a big one for them, so I guess it makes sense.

Nightengale · Jan 27, 2016

Always forget about TOR.

And I have no expectation on Amy Hennig's Unstarwars to be revealed this year. Maybe a CGi trailer tops.

You're right about Criterion. Forgot about that too.
