EA Originals: A Way Out
Centered around an epic prison break, A Way Out is brought to us as a joint effort between EA and the creators of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. The game’s co-op experience is said to be unlike anything you’ve ever played, touting an expansive storyline filled with action and exploration. Sadly, we’ll have to wait until early 2018 to get our hands on it.
Anthem
Bioware showcased its latest upcoming game titled Anthem. While just a sneak peak, it offers a first look at the new futuristic action shooter. You’ll have to checkout tomorrow’s Microsoft’s E3 event for a closer look.
NBA LIVE 18
Enhancing ‘virtually every aspect of last years edition’, NBA Live 18 introduces a new way to play and enjoy basketball. The One features a combination of street and league play, letting you take to the court on both the east and west coast. While there isn’t currently a release date, a free demo will be out in August to let you test your skills on the court.
Star Wars Battlefront II
The highly-anticipated sequel to 2014’s hit Star Wars game is finally here. So what’s in store for fans later this year? An offline story mode? Check. Content from all 3 Star Wars eras? Check. Free DLC? You bet. Packed with 3-times the content as the first Battlefront, its features tons of new heroes, maps, vehicles, weapons and so much more. You’ll be able to take on the galaxy later this year on November 17.
One of the biggest complaints from the predecessor was the lack of an offline campaign. For those hoping Battlefront II wouldn’t fall victim to the same lack of content, looks like your prayers have been answered. Taking place in the gap between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, Battlefront II tells an authentic, untold story that lets you play as some of your favorite characters, as well as some new ones.
