The Sims 4: Island Living Expansion Announced

During EA Play 2019, EA announced The Sims 4’s newest expansion: Island Living.

The Sims 4: Island Living will become available on June 21 on PC and Mac, and July 16 on consoles.

The Island Living reveal trailer showed off a dirty beach being cleaned up, a nighttime beach party, a woman turning into a mermaid, and more. It also introduces water play, allowing Sims to walk into the open water, ride on jet skis, float and even swim with the dolphins. The island also includes an active volcano – Sims who are feeling risky can live nearby and will likely encounter eruptions.

If your Sims want to take care of the island, they can become a conservationist to help keep the beaches clean and wildlife safe. Sims can attend nighttime parties, make special native drinks and interact with friendly islanders. Spirits who care about the island interact with Sims, and will be nice to them if you’re good to the island, and bad if you’re abusing it.

E3 2019: Anthem Producer Says “We Have Some Work To Do”

EA surprised Anthem fans by not giving the game an official spot on its EA Play presentation, but it did squeeze some time for the game between its FIFA and Madden NFL spots. Lead producer Ben Irving appeared for a short interview and recognized the game’s weak spots while committing to continuing to work on it.

Irving said that right now the team is working with influencers and getting feedback from players about recent events and the Cataclysm. The idea right now is to gather impressions from the test server and use that to shape content going forward.

“Anthem does have a future. A very bright future, we hope,” Irving said. “We’ve learned a lot these last few months, we really want to make the game better, we believe Anthem can be a really amazing game. We know we have some work to do, we just want to work with the community and build it together and make it the game that everyone wants it to be.”

E3 2019: Battlefield 5 Chapter 5 Will Go To The Pacific Theater

During the EA Play conference around E3 2019, developer DICE outlined new content for its large-scale FPS Battlefield 5. One of the biggest additions is the inclusion of the Pacific theater of World War II in the single-player campaign Tides Of War and in the multiplayer modes. This will be a free update (like all Battlefield 5 content updates) that adds pacific theater missions and maps as Chapter 5 this fall.

DICE outlined that it has three maps planned to incorporate the Pacific theater, one of which will be Iwo Jima. There are also some new elements coming to the game, as DICE said it’s trying to capture the invasion experience and incorporate amphibious warfare with additional vehicles as US and Japanese forces hop from island to island. A classic weapon is also coming to Battlefield 5: the M1 Garand.

No Caption Provided

DICE and EA outlined a content plan for Battlefield 5 leading up to the launch of the game back in November 2018; this included new missions, maps, and modes, like the battle royale mode Firestorm. Support for the game is continuing with three new multiplayer maps: Al-Sahdan in June, Marita in July, and Operation Underground in October. Chapter 5 content is likely to hit in November as it’s designated to roll out this fall.
