The Gaming News Corner

Electronic Arts started their conference putting out the fires they started. For every game they announced, they also announced there weren’t any loot boxes. The rest of the conference was dedicated to some solid game presentations.

Anthem (Feb 22nd, 2019):

• EA’s big competitor against Destiny
• The game is a multiplayer, open-world game with an integrated storyline.
• You can play the game solo
• The game setting looks like a combination of Monster Hunter and Destiny. The robots look like Titans from Titanfall
