Ahead of E3 2016, EA hosted the first ever EA Play event. Rather than having a booth on the showfloor, EA decided to host a separate event nearby in downtown Los Angeles, with their signature press conference followed by the opening of the EA Play show, a dedicated space for both press and fans to be able to see the next big things coming from EA Games.

At the press conference, it was business as usual despite the location and day change, with announcements, trailers, and special guests galore. After announcing the rest of the DLC for Star Wars: Battlefront, EA made an official announcement of what's coming next. The continuation of the Battlefront franchise was a gimme, and an earnings call let slip that development was underway, but Star Wars: Battlefront 2 was officially announced at the EA Play event.

"Next year, you'll get a new installment of Star Wars Battlefront, and we're listening to the fans, and will add new content including content from the new films," Jade Raymond said. The "listening to fans" part isn't a confirmation that there will be single-player content, but it's a heavy-handed tease for that much-requested component.
