E3 2018: EA Play Press Conference Game Trailers -- Anthem, Battlefield 5, More

EA has kicked off E3 2018 and its EA Play series of events with a flurry of new trailers for its top upcoming games. We've finally gotten some new details about Anthem, BioWare's Destiny-esque sci-fi adventure, as well as another look at DICE's upcoming World War II shooter, Battlefield V.

Those certainly weren't the only games EA showcased during its press conference, though. The publisher also shared new trailers for a number of its upcoming sports titles, including Madden NFL 19, FIFA 19, and NBA Live 19. We've also seen several surprise announcements, most notably the adorable new platformer Unravel Two and the next EA Originals title, the haunting Sea of Solitude.

We've rounded up all of the new trailers from EA's E3 presentation below. For more in-depth info on the new announcements, be sure to check out all the news from the EA press conference. You can also check out our EA press conference liveblog if you want to re-experience it all.

Anthem

Anthem is easily BioWare's most ambitious title. Focusing on the exploits of heavily armored freelancers in on a hostile alien planet, you'll work together with other players online to take on dangerous missions while exploring the furthest reaches of the world. While this totally sounds a lot like Destiny, BioWare's approach to the concept of the shared-world shooter looks like an interesting change of pace from other games of the genre, and we can't wait to see more.

Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One | Release Date: 2019

Battlefield V

For 2018's entry in the Battlefield series, EA and DICE are taking players back to World War II. Like Battlefield 1, its single-player campaign will be comprised of shorter War Stories that focus on specific aspects of the war. Multiplayer will see the introduction of playable female protagonists and--in a change from recent entries--dump the season pass model in favor of free post-launch maps and updates.

Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One | Release Date: October 19

Command & Conquer: Rivals

EA is reviving the long-running strategy series as a free-to-play PvP game "designed from the ground up" for mobile devices. Command & Conquer: Rivals pits two factions against each other in head-to-head battles that challenge players with balancing resource management and unit placement. The game doesn't have a release date yet, but Android users can pre-register for a chance to take part in the Rivals pre-alpha now.

Platforms: Android, iOS | Release Date: TBA

FIFA 19

The latest installment in EA's popular soccer franchise arrives in September, and among the numerous changes in this year's entry is its acquisition of the UEFA Champions League license. That makes it the first game in the series to have rights to the license since the 2007 spin-off title, UEFA Champions League 2006-2007. FIFA 19 also includes a new chapter of The Journey starring recurring protagonist Alex Hunter.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch | Release Date: September 28

Madden NFL 19

EA's annual American football franchise returns this year promising better visuals and gameplay. Franchise mode sees new additions this year, which is good news after 2017's game left a lot to be desired in that department.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One | Release Date: August 10

NBA Live 19

NBA Live 19 arrives for PS4 and Xbox One on September 7, and it builds upon last year's installment with a number of new features. Players will be able to face off on new courts in Paris, Brazil and the Philippines, each of which has different rules and challenges. The One mode will also return, and this time players can put together a squad of athletes from around the globe.

Sea of Solitude

Sea of Solitude is the next game coming under the EA Originals banner, and it tells a haunting story of loneliness.

Your ultimate goal is to find out how she transformed and how to turn her back into a human.

Platforms: TBA | Release Date: 2019

Star Wars Battlefront II - Clone Wars

On top of announcing a new Star Wars game by Respawn, Jedi Fallen Order, EA announced a slate of new content coming to Star Wars Battlefront II. This year, the developer will introduce content based on the Clone Wars, including General Grevious, Count Dooku, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Anakin Skywalker as new Heroes.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, and PC | Release Date: TBA

Unravel 2

Unravel 2 focuses on the adventures of Yarny, a small, woollen toy. According to Developer Coldwood, this sequel will be a more upbeat affair than the original, with a slight shift away from puzzler and towards the platformer end of the spectrum. Yarny is more agile than before, and this is utilized in some of the story mode's trickier sections. New to experience this time around is the addition of drop-in / drop-out co-op play.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, and PC | Release Date: June 9
