- Star Wars (general)
- Battlefield 1
EA had quite possibly the weakest showing at E3 2016. It’s not because their properties aren’t worth looking forward to or anything. In fact, EA has some of the biggest licensing deals in all of video games thanks to Madden, FIFA, and Star Wars. However, the company didn’t really show anything that fans didn’t already know about. Mass Effect Andromeda received a new trailer, but gameplay is still a mystery, and Star Wars received some behind the scenes looks that created more questions than answers.
EA opted out of a show floor presence in favor of the EA Play event just a few blocks away from the convention center. Battlefield 1 was the game to play there, with Madden and FIFA offering a chance to try out some new mechanics, as well. Titanfall 2 was there, but thanks to a pretty simple multiplayer demo it was difficult to become excited. Still, I have to give EA credit for doing something for the public, E3 is hell to get into for the average person.
