EA Skipping E3 This Year

E3 is… well, maybe not around the corner, but it’s coming. And, as with last year, major publisher and “bad guy trying but failing to reform” EA won’t be making a presence there this year. No booth, no presentation, no anything. But, as with the year before, they’ll still have a show: just, separate from E3, a three-day festival at the Hollywood Palladium where people can play games, hear announcements, and generally just chill with EA.

It’ll be hosted between June 10th and the 12th.

"Those that can attend in Hollywood will experience hands-on gameplay, live entertainment and much more. For anyone joining digitally around the world, EA PLAY will feature livestreams, deeper looks into EA's upcoming games and experiences, and content from some of the best creators in the community. For players, content creators, media, industry partners and more, EA PLAY 2017 will deliver a network of experiences to celebrate a world of play."

Not much to say beyond that. It’s becoming an increasingly popular trend for companies to skip out on E3, and since EA has already done it once before, it’s hardly the shock one might think.
