We already knew most of the games that will be available when EA hosts its EA Play event this weekend from Los Angeles ahead of E3 2017.
Apparently, though, there are a couple more games making an appearance that EA doesn’t want to spoil ahead of its press event on Saturday afternoon.
The announced games are:
-
- Battlefront 2
- Need For Speed: Payback
- FIFA 18
- Madden 18
- NBA Live 18
