Electronic Arts won't have a booth on the showfloor at E3 2016, but the publisher is still going to have a Los Angeles presence this June. EA Play, a fan-oriented event open to the public, will be held June 12-14 at Club Nokia - just down the street from the Los Angeles Convention Center, and E3 proper. This will be the first year EA has skipped E3 for more than a decade.

EA will still hold a press conference, but instead of sharing the pre-E3 Monday with Microsoft, Sony, and Ubisoft as it had in years past, the company's presentation will take place on Sunday, June 12 - much like Bethesda held its conference on the Sunday before E3 last year. EA will also host a special one-night event on Sunday, June 12, at The Mermaid conference and events center in London.
