Rather than being a part of E3 proper, Electronic Arts will once again host its own dedicated event just prior to the start of the gaming industry`s major event in June. EA has confirmed the first details about EA Play 2018, including the fact that the next Battlefield will be playable there.As you`d expect, there are virtually no details on what the game will be; EA simply says that EA Play attendees will `have a chance to play the next Battlefield experience.` The publisher had previously confirmed the next item in the series would release later this year, so we`d expect to have learned the first details by the time June rolls around. However, we`ve learned nothing yet about what to expect from the game, including what era it will take place in after Battlefield 1 went to World War I.EA Play 2018 will take place in Los Angeles` Hollywood Palladium from June 9-11; E3 begins the following day, on June 12, also in LA. A press conference will take place on June 9 and will be streamed online.Aside from Battlefield, EA teases that the upcoming slate of EA Sports games will be playable. Attendees will also `get an inside look` at BioWare`s new game, Anthem, though it`s unclear if it will be playable. Although EA claims it`s not a delay, the publisher recently moved its release date from this year to early 2019.Tickets to EA Play will be distributed for free, though you`ll obviously need to be able to make it to LA if you secure one. You`ll be able to get a ticket sometime this spring through a new system intended `to give players better hands-on access to their favorite games.` Further specifics on tickets and the event`s schedule will be shared in the `coming weeks.`
