EA is skipping E3 this yr



For the primary time in twenty years, EA might not take part in E3.
In a announcement launched by means of the organisation nowadays, EA says it's going to opt out of the crowded display ground enjoy at E3 2016 to host its own event in los angeles and London  days before the begin of the arena's largest online game conference.
The occasion, referred to as EA Play, will kick off on June 12 in both towns and, in la as a minimum, will preserve right up until the first day of E3 on June 14.
in spite of the shift in locale, it seems like little else will alternate for the makers of Mass effect, FIFA and Madden NFL. EA will nonetheless keep a keynote beginning at 1pm PT on June 12 before letting gamers free on whatever new video games the agency has to reveal off. (Which i am assuming is a brand new entry in a primary franchise like, say, Mass impact.)
In a statement sent to GiantBomb, EA says that the brand new approach will positioned gamers first:
"we're taking our dedication to position our players first in addition this 12 months by using developing a play enjoy built around them. hosting our own occasion lets in us to connect immediately with our gamers and create a significant enjoy for them. In los angeles, our gamers will have get entry to to the games on Monday. we will open up the occasion to the enterprise on Tuesday, allowing people who are on the town for E3 to look our games and be a part of the experience."
EA, regardless of never being acknowledged for a gamers-first mentality, might be rounding a corner after it took pre-orders for $50/£40/AU$69 downloadable content for megastar Wars Battlefront overdue final yr.
The flow will free up some extra area in the South corridor of the l.  a. conference middle wherein a number of the opposite big third-birthday party publishers like Activision, 2K, Ubisoft, rectangular Enix or Konami might fill in.
