E3 grows a little quieter as EA pulls out of the event

EA will not be holding its regular showcase at this year’s E3 event.

While the publisher will hold its EA Play broadcast as usual on June 7th, CEO Andrew Wilson won’t be taking his usual place on the conference stage at E3 this year.

“This year you’ll see less talk and more play, with an event entirely focused on the heartbeat of EA Play: our player communities and the games they love,” said EA in a blog post announcing their EA Play plans.

“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."
