The video game industry’s biggest event of the year is kicking off, with a series of announcements from Electronic Arts for its EA Play event for the Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3 as it’s called. Here’s what’s been revealed so far.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
EA showed off its highly anticipated new game, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. which will tell the tale of a light saber-wielding hero shortly after Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine grabbed power and formed the evil empire.
During the event, which was held Saturday June 8, EA showed about 15 minutes of gameplay, showing what people will experience about three hours into the story. In it, you play as Cal Kestis, a Jedi-in-training who wields a blue light saber. He also has a companion droid who sits on his back called BD-1. You can watch here.
Apex Legends
A lot of announcements for Apex Legends. There’s a new weapon called the L-STAR, which is a care package because apparently it’s “so OP”! A ranked mode is coming as part of Season 2.
But the big news of the day for Apex Legends: a brand new character.
She’s an electrical engineer and can place fences to help defend her team.
Wattson’s ult can block anything going towards you, recharges your teammates shields around you, AND recharges Wattson’s fence cooldown so you can put more down faster. She can full charge her ult with ONE ultimate accelerant. pic.twitter.com/X5lxsh4U0a

People seem to be very excited about Watson.
Battlefield 5
The first piece of big news for Battlefield 5 was a brand new map called Al Sondan.
The map is a massive one, designed to support players who like the bigger, large scale combat that Battlefield is famous for.
There was also Marita.
But for those of you who prefer the more intimate aspects of Battlefield, another brand new map: Operation Underground. It’s full of flanking routes and opportunities to surprise players.
Chapter V of Battlefield V was also a big focus. The team are attempting to recreate the conflict of Iwo Jima. With that comes a new set of weapons and vehicles specific to that theatre of war.
