E3 2018 is in full swing and it’s a glorious, glorious time for video game fans across the globe! But here’s the rub, the announcements are coming so fast and furious that we’re already buried in awesomeness. This is a good problem to have. This year, we thought we’d save you countless hours by highlighting the top 3 coolest things from each major press conference. For those wanting it all, you can watch the entire conference in the video above!
EA kicked things off this year, and here are the top 3 things to come out of their conference:
ANTHEM
This is EA’s biggest and baddest looking game and it’s coming a lot sooner than you may think. February 22nd, 2019 to be exact. ANTHEM is EA’s answer to DESTINY and it looks absolutely stunning. We got a robust gameplay trailer that mixed single-player and multiplayer action. EA says that there weill be a large communal overworked where players will go on adventures together as well as a single player hub where the story can unfold and you can customize your character to your hearts delight. While that sounds a little janky, the game looks stunning and its absolutely on my must-own list after this new showing.
STAR WARS: JEDI FALLEN ORDER
Ok, so this is going to be awesome news and piss people off at the same time. #StarWars. So here goes, EA officially announced that they are teaming with Respawn (TITANFALL Series) to deliver a brand new video game set in our favorite galaxy far, far away. Besides the above title, it was announced that the game will take place between episodes 3 and 4, and it will release Holiday 2019. And yes, you will be a Jedi. Great news, no gameplay footage, let the speculation begin.
UNRAVEL TWO
And last but not least is a fun little indie gem in the form of UNRAVEL TWO. The first UNRAVEL was chock-full of charm and was really an excellent experience overall. This time around there is a very unique co-op mode where you and a player are tethered together and must service the elements. And the best part, it’s out NOW! Go get it!
Honorable Mentions:
-BATTLEFIELD V says they will be incorporating a “Royale” mode in the vein of PUBG and FORTNITE. It will be interesting to see if they can create a “Royale” style experience without being buggy as all hell.
-STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT 2 will be getting some new content paying homage to THE CLONE WARS era including 4 new characters to play as including General Grievous, Count Dooku, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Anakin Skywalker. Cool.
