Want to know more? We sat down with Heiko Ellinger to learn more about how the show comes together.

What can viewers look forward to seeing on EA Live?

We will be presenting all the games in this year's line-up, and in addition, there will also be producer interviews and a few really cool surprises so you’ll have to tune in to find out. Viewers can look forward to competitions and insights direct from the show floor and backstage!

What are some of the nuts and bolts from the stream – how does it all work? 


We manage everything directly from the large main stage. That's where everything comes together. Three camera teams will be scouring every corner of the convention hall to bring everything to our fans at home!

How do you get content for your channel? 


We prepare a lot in advance, but a lot is generated on site, at the convention. Three mobile camera teams will be capturing everything up close on the ground.

And your personal favorite game at the EA booth this year?

Unravel! A game that's totally unlike anything EA has ever done. My personal recommendation!
