The EA E3 2013 highlights are filled with some of the most hotly anticipated titles right now, and they’ve all been given trailer treatment by the publisher. Be it the Mirror’s Edge reboot which got announced for the first time at the event, or Battlefield 4, the revamped Commander Mode of which was also showcased. Let’s take a look at what transpired at the press conference from the start.
A trailer for Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare was first to make a show, with the game taking an obvious jibe at Call of Duty through its moniker. It’s no longer a purely tower-defense game however; as it combines elements of the said genre with a third-person multiplayer co-op model. At the moment, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC are the only three platforms it will be arriving for. No release window has come forth.
Titanfall, the mech-based FPS which we first witnessed at Microsoft’s keynote was shown in depth here. It’s coming to the Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC next year.
The Need for Speed series has one more game to add to its long list of iterations. First revealed in November last year, Need for Speed: Rivals is still slated to arrive for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, but is aiming for next-gen platforms as well.
Exclusive rights for Star Wars properties were acquired by EA in May this year from Disney, and this partnership has resulted into the debut of Star Wars Battlefront which was shown through a teaser by the publisher. No other concrete details about it are out at the moment, so just enjoy the video.
One more among the EA E3 2013 highlights was when it spoke about Dragon Age 3: Inquisition, iterating that its release has been delayed till next year. That’s because it has now been planned for the Xbox One, PS4, PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
Other big EA E3 2013 highlights were the publisher’s annual sports titles. As promised last year, it announced the resurrection of the NBA Live series, with the reveal of NBA Live 14. It will feature new ‘BounceTek’ physics for dribbling, and will update player statistics and other such aspects an hour after they’re changed in the real world. It’s coming to the PS4 and the Xbox One.
Madden NFL 25, FIFA 14 as well as EA Sports UFC are all coming to next-gen consoles soon, and here are their trailers which were shown at the Los Angeles event yesterday.
Next among the EA E3 2013 highlights was one of the publisher’s hottest properties – Battlefield 4. The Commander Mode which was present in Battlefield 2142 will be making a return in the new game. Moreover, it was also confirmed to be capable enough of handling 64 players in a single multiplayer match.
Last but by no means the least was the Mirror’s Edge reboot which was rumored to exist since a long time. It will be arriving for the PS4, Xbox One and PC ‘when it’s ready.’
