EA's Gamescom highlights

24.8.2017

Translation: machine translated

At the end of day 2, the meeting at EA was on the programme. Sandro and I had already familiarised ourselves with Starwars: Battlefront 2 on Day 1, and now EA Germany introduced us to four more highlights.

FIFA 18

FIFA 18 will also be released for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360

NHL 18

Of course, the Germans aren't waiting for NHL as eagerly as we Swiss are. To be honest, the game hardly plays a role at Gamescom. In fact, I don't think I saw it anywhere. But it was a topic in our meeting - because we Swiss are simply more enthusiastic about ice hockey than our northern neighbours. This year's headliner is Connor McDavid, and the creativity of young players is a focal point of this year's game, which will be released on 15 September.

Star Wars Battlefront 2

When developing the Star Wars game, which will be released two weeks before the film (on 17 November), EA listened carefully to the concerns of the Community and integrated space battles in response to many requests. Another significant innovation compared to the first instalment is the inclusion of a story mode for single players alongside the multiplayer part.

Need for Speed Payback

The illegal street races are back! Helicopters from the air, the good old nail strips or the modern switches designed to slow down the cars' electronics: All no match for gifted high-speed drivers. A special feature of the game: you can drive the new BMW M5 in the game long before it will be driving around on our roads for the first time in real life. It was presented for the first time at the motor show - in the game... This title will be released on 10 November.

Sims 4
