During EA Play at E3 2018, the company revealed Battlefield V’s multiplayer, Anthem gameplay, and yes, Madden NFL games are finally coming to the PC.
And we also got a brief look at the new and improved Grand Operations mode. Take a look:
And here’s an exclusive look at Grand Operations PC gameplay from Nvidia:
You’ll finally be able to dive through windows and move stationary guns around levels with vehicles in multiplayer modes, too.
Hey, big surprise! EA is making a new Fifa and a new Madden. And usually that would be where we’d stop caring, here at PCWorld—except EA is bringing Madden and FIFA to the PC this year. It’s been, as EA CEO Andrew Wilson said, over a decade since Madden was on PC so that’s huge news. II can’t wait to see some of that 4K sweat.
Subscription services are the way of the future, it seems. EA is fleshing out its EA Access program with the new “Origin Access Premier,” which promises to bring all of the publisher’s latest PC games and a catalog of older games to players for a monthly fee, building on the foundation provided by the standard $5 per month Origin Access service. No word yet on price, and no idea whether it’ll be day-and-date releases like Microsoft’s Game Pass on the Xbox. The next few years could be very interesting if this trend continues though.
Respawn showed up at EA Play and…well, showed nothing. Bit weird. Apparently the game is scheduled for holiday 2019 so we’ve got a while to wait—they even teased showing us a trailer next year.
I played the original Unravel and found it a bit simplistic, albeit very pretty. No surprise EA is making a sequel.
Whether it’ll be fun? It’s hard to say, at least from the brief gameplay video that EA showed. We’ll have some hands-on time today at EA Play, so expect our impressions soon. For now? Check out the trailers, and be sure to come back tomorrow for Microsoft’s E3 press conference at 1 p.m. Pacific. We’ve got details for all the live streams of E3 weekend’s big events here.
