EA had their E3 replacement event streamed on all major platforms and revealing some upcoming titles. The stream felt a lot like going to a convention. For those unfamiliar to convention attendance, these events don’t just go trailer to trailer but actually fill the event with a behind-the-scenes look at the development process. Featurettes showing off early concept art and interviews then followed by a trailer or gameplay footage.
The highlight of the stream was more detail for Star Wars: Squadrons. The impact was slightly deflated when the game leaked early and EA had to confirm the game early. Luckily we got a lot more detail revealing that this is not simply a free-to-play microtransactions machine but a full-fledged game. It will have both single and multiplayer. The single-player story follows two pilots on opposing sides. Multiplayer offers a 5v5 Dogfight mode or Fleetbattle mode with different roles and objectives. The better the player, the better the game. You have full control of your ship with the ability to shift shields to a specific part or pull power from other systems to boost other systems. This game is coming to most systems and will be fully crossplay. Releasing October 2nd!
