Now a full schedule for E3 has been revealed for this year's E3, EA plans to get ahead of the competition by firming up its plans and announcing its own schedule for the EA PLAY 2019 event.

Unlike previous years, this will not be a typical conference and instead, there will be a three-hour long spectacle, livestreamed across the publisher's Twitch and YouTube channels on Saturday, June 8. Throughout the event, which is detailed here, you can expect to see information regarding EA's biggest titles and potentially even some reveals.

Starting off strong at 9:30am PST (5:30pm BST), will be another look into the upcoming Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, where we will hopefully get to see a gameplay trailer, giving us new insight into what we can expect from the title in a few months' time when it launches. Following this, will be a section on Apex Legends, which may contain details about a new character or content coming to the free-to-play title.

After this, a portion of the event will be dedicated to Battlefield V, likely to be showing off some more additions coming to the multiplayer FPS. Next on the list is a segment called 'EA SPORTS FIFA', which is set for 11am PST (7pm BST). Could this be the reveal for FIFA 20, ahead of the usual release window of late September?

Straight after this, will be another look into the Madden franchise, likely focusing on NFL 20 before it launches this August. Finally, to round it all off will be a section dedicated to Sims 4, probably containing information regarding more DLC content for the popular life simulation game.

It is worth noting that the event has absolutely no mention of Anthem, which only released three months ago. With this being said, more information about the title is expected to be announced during a livestream later today, at 9pm BST. Whether this is news about the long-awaited Cataclysm DLC or just an update on the state of the game, we will find out later.
