EA has revealed when EA Play will happen this year. EA Play is the multi-day free event where anyone can check out upcoming games, usually held around the same time E3 is happening. It’s essentially EA’s E3 presence but not held within E3.

Traditionally, EA Play holds a press conference or media showcase to highlight the big announcements. But not for 2019.
In the announcement post, it reads:
“We’re skipping the press conference this year and are replacing it with multiple live streams that will air during the first two days of the event, bringing you more of what you’ve told us you want – more gameplay and insights from the teams making the games.
What this means is that there is no central event to tune in like last year, just plenty of content streamed and delivered by their partner content creators throughout the two-day span. So no more cringe-inducing moments, for better or worse. Most of it for the better.
We know that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is coming this fall and a new Need For Speed will arrive within this year. But expect surprise reveals like indie games under the EA Originals banner. And the usual EA Sports annual refresh.
