Watch it live here: Saturday, June 9: 11:00 a.m. PT, 2:00 p.m. ET.
E3 2018 may not officially start until next week — but you won’t have to wait long to ride the hype train. Some of the industry’s biggest publishers are kicking things off early, starting with Electronic Arts. The company behind games like Battlefield, Titanfall and the most recent Star Wars games is hosting its own event in Hollywood this weekend called EA Play.
You can watch the live stream right here (we’ll be embedding it soon), or on YouTube. But if you happen to be within spitting distance of southern California, you might be able to just go yourself.
EA’s Live Show might not be open to the public, but it’s hosting a Player Fan Fest at the Hollywood Palladium on June 9-11th. You have to register here https://www.ea.com/eaplay2018, but once in, you’ll have a chance to play the Battlefield 5, new EA Sports games and more.
Unlike Sony, Microsoft and Nintnedo’s events, EA Play will feature games from just one publisher: Electronic Arts. That said, EA owns DICE, Respawn and a ton of other game studios — so there will be plenty of beloved franchises to fawn over. Here’s our short list of what we expect to see at the show.
