First look at Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order

During the event, which was held Saturday June 8, Respawn Entertainment unveiled 14 minutes of gameplay from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order to kick off EA Play. 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.

It'll hit the PS4 (and PC and Xbox One) on November 15.

 

Apex Legends is getting a new legend for season 2

Respawn Entertainment gave us our first look at the new Apex Legends season 2 Battle Pass and a lot of new content. Season 2 will be called Battle Charge, and will include a new weapon called the L-STAR, which is only included a part of a care package drop. But the big news of the day for Apex Legends: a brand new character. A new Legend named Wattson, and a "new way to play the game."

Battlefield 5: a brand new map called Al Sondan

The first piece of big news for Battlefield V 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.

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. With that comes a new set of weapons and vehicles specific to that theatre of war.

 

FIFA 20's big new addition will be Volta Football

EA's football game is going to be a significant update over last year's edition, thanks to the inclusion of a fun-looking 'Volta Football' mode. This is a career mode blending NBA 2K MyCareer-levels of personalization and customization with FIFA Street-style matches and tricks. On the streets, players can choose from several matches with alternate rules, somewhat reminiscent of the House Rules options players could give matches in FIFA 19. It's the most significant addition to FIFA since the introduction of the single player Journey Mode, and a welcome return for the mode that's been absent from the mainline series for nearly 20 years.

The Sims 4 Island Living coming this summer

A new expansion for The Sims 4 called Island Living is coming this summer, Electronic Arts and Maxis announced at EA Play 2019 on Saturday. Island Living will let Sims chill out on the laid-back island of Sulani, where they'll be able to take part in activities like swimming, suntanning, and hanging out with dolphins and mermaids. The game also has an active volcano, which I'm hoping you can use to plan elaborate deaths for your Sims.

 

The Sims 4 Island Living is coming to Mac and Windows PC on June 21, and to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on July 16.
