What gives, right? We thought EA was going to be at E3 2021!
Well, they still might be. We don’t have a complete picture below, but we do know that they are rumoured to still be appearing at the end of the event.
We can only assume that the EA presentation at E3 2021 is going to be a bit lighter, with EA Play offering us deeper dives on any upcoming titles.
