It Takes Two

Lost In Random
Zoink Games, the developer behind Fe, announced their brand new project titled Lost in Random. It’s a third-person action/adventure game that has a great art style resembling stop-motion animation.
Rocket Arena
A 3v3 third-person PVP arena shooter where everyone only has rocket weapons. There are a variety of heroes each with unique abilities.
Rocket Arena releases on July 14th for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, featuring cross-play between all platforms.
Star Wars Squadrons
The big one for the show this year was the gameplay reveal for Star Wars Squadrons. They reiterated details we wrote about following the trailer earlier in the week: cross-play, full VR support, and the October 2nd release date—before diving into a gameplay trailer.
In the campaign, you’ll play both the New Republic as Vanguard Squadron and the Imperials as Titan Squadron. The trailer also featured Rae Sloane and Hera Syndulla, exciting fans of the extended Star Wars universe.
The multiplayer is a big focus, designed with several phases. There’s a hub area where you and your teammates can plan attacks. Dogfight mode is similar to deathmatch, while Fleet Battles are the marquee multiplayer mode—multi-phase matches with cinematic flair and narrative elements.
Madden 21 and FIFA 21
Reveal trailer for both the upcoming Madden 21 and FIFA 21. It wouldn’t be an EA event without some sports.
