EA Play - what to expect
Aside from a lot of chatter about how EA keeps listening to its community and incorporates its feedback to make its games better, you can expect these games to make an appearance:

• Battlefield V: we should see our first taste of gameplay at EA Play 2018 with more details at Microsoft's Xbox E3 2018 event.
• FIFA 19: sure, we know Cristiano Ronaldo is the FIFA 19 cover star, but what of its game modes such as The Journey? And would FUT micro-transactions be less predatory this time around?
• Unravel 2: thanks to the ESRB we know that this is coming soon on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. It should be a part of EA's indie program called EA Originals.
• Anthem: with this open-world Destiny alike slated for 2019,hopefully Bioware sheds light on what we can really look forward to when its out.
• Star Wars: with Titanfall 2 developer Respawn working on a Star Wars game, we could see a tease of what is to be.
• Need for Speed: granted Need for Speed Payback was dismal, could EA turn things around with its next instalment and could we see it at EA Play?
• Skate 4: with Skate 3 servers coming back online and EA trademarking Skate 4, there's speculation of a new game in the skateboarding series in works.
