The Battlefield 1 expansion, In the Name of the Tsar, features a Women’s Battalion of Death ( apparently there were several). FIFA 17’s Alex Hunter is back for Fifa 18 too. Player character diversity: Madden NFL 18 gets a story mode called The Longshot, like FIFA 17’s The Journey, and similarly stars a black man: Devin Wade. Oh, and mere seconds of BioWare’s new IP Anthem, which was given more time over on Microsoft’s stage. We had balls, guns, cars, and even a quick trip to (and then out of) prison.
The event: EA kicked off its event with a Madden NFL themed marching band and ended it with marching Stormtroopers, which neatly sets the tone for the company behind several incredibly popular sports games and shooters. Andrew Wilson, the Electronic Arts CEO, one of the many white men on stage for the company’s presentation.
