The dates for EA Play 2019, EA’s fan event where people can learn about and test out upcoming games, have been announced. It will be held at the Hollywood Palladium in Hollywood, California from June 7-9, 2019. That means this year, the event will not overlap with E3 2019, which runs June 11-13, 2019. It also will not include a media briefing.

The timing arrangement is not uncommon, as EA has held its EA Play event both ahead of and during E3 in the past. For example, EA Play 2018 took place June 9-11, 2018 and E3 was held June 11-13, 2019, allowing a one day overlap. EA Play 2017 was June 10-12, 2017 and E3 2017 was June 13-15, 2017, however.

Skipping a media briefing is more atypical. Instead, EA will hold an EA PLAY kickoff event on June 7, 2019 that offers multiple live stream presentations on June 7 and 8, 2019. However, EA did not note which games will and won’t appear on stream or as playable demos.

What?? But what about fifa, madden and nhl announcements????

THANK. FUCKING. GOD.

No more cringeworthy keynotes is the best move EA has made in years. EA’s keynotes have been consistently terrible for a long time now. Better to let the games speak for themselves without suits or random celebs to ruin them.

 

[KyoZz]

if they could at the same time stop making games that would be nice too

It's too bad that you can't even do that because all their games are bullshots in motion.

 

[Chairman Tickles]

And nothing of value was lost.

 

[angelic]

DOMINATE.

 

[JLB]

At this point E3 will be MSE3

MS wins by default!

 

[Dthomp]

MS wins by default!

No competition and still comes in an underwhelming 3rd place.

 

[The Shepard]

EA have turned all there studio's from last gen into piles of poop this gen. No loss.

 

[Breakfast at Noon]

Does no one else find this.. I don't know the words.

But there's people partying over changing the history of world war 2.. is disturbing the word?

I don't know why DICE does this shit. Or I do, they are Swedish. But it may me not buying the game.

A shame cus it looked decent and the beta was fun.

 

[KormaChameleon]

Wise move.

 

[Screamer-RSA]

I fixed it.

 

[Javthusiast]

I mean nothing of value was lost.

Outside of the fact that I enjoyed watching reactions from giant bomb etc. make fun of it. #WEED3

 

[IKSTUGA]

Yeah I have literally zero interest in ea products at this point. Even Titanfall got turned into some BR shieet with awful character design.

 

[EDMIX]

Nice. Really want to see that new Star Wars game Fallen Order, Dragon Age 4 and what ever the other half of DICE might put out. Looking forward to it.

 

[Fake]

This E3...

 

[dottme]

At this point E3 will be MSE3

They will be able to put a big "Exclusive at E3" at the beginning of their show.

 

[michaelius]

Do they even have anything to show now that Anthem is out ?

 

[Jigsaah]

You know...as much as I hated EA's presentation at E3 2018...I still kinda wish they kept at it. I like the spectacle of E3 and with these companies bowing out, I feel like it becomes less...spectacular.

 

[Simply_Bry]

More space for CD Project Red

 

[Fbh]

They are almost always the worst of the big conferences so it's not like much has been lost.

It's still kinda lame that E3 is now basically down to MS, Ubisoft and maybe Bethesda
