Electronic Arts, one of the game publishers partnered with Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest event, has shared an interesting message on social media ahead of the opening showcase on 9th June.
In the tweet, EA says it has "some surprises" that fans of the company - known for series like Need for Speed and Battlefield - apparently won't want to miss. A smirking emoji and detective emoji are included in the same message:
There's been a lot seemingly going on behind the scenes with EA in recent times. The third-party game giant has ended its partnership with FIFA, it recently revealed it's working on an unannounced remake for 2023, and it's reportedly pursuing a sale or merger.
Whatever surprises EA is teasing, we're guessing there's a good chance of reveals later this week. Got any guesses? Leave a comment down below.

They got some hot new rushed poorly managed games they can’t wait to show us.
Come on burnout 3 takedown remake.... dont care about anything else from ea
The Sims 5 on PS5 ?
My Sims Rebooted ?
Oh boy, new microtransactions!
Removed - unconstructive
@SalvorHardin for Xbox, Playstation, and PC.
Switch isn't getting any of these games
Burnout 3 and Burnout revenge remastered
Let me guess:
Andrew Wilson will be revealed as a soulless robotic killing machine, sent back in time to assassinate Geoff Keighley, who would otherwise eventually grow up to save the gaming industry?
Does those surprises have any mechanics?
It’s EA handling a surprise.
They can surprise us all by not making a game with micro transactions. 🙄
Go away EA, no one likes you.
As a Nintendo gamer I laugh at this.
Madden on Switch Yay!
It'll be a new IP titled "Earner". It will be a game about a young boy at school who learns he can "play to earn" while he is rejected by society. While he learns how to earn, he discovers what he makes in the metaverse is in hot demand by the rich kids in school. As he toils away he finds he's able to make huge profits off the rich kids. However, he has to balance his NFT craft with power demands, homework, the fact that the hot girl at school doesn't understand or care about NFT (they killed her brother or something). The boss will be either the lead kid who wants to take over the kid's operations, or it'll be a big faceless corporation that wants to turn his operations into a game to better monetize NFT.
The boss battle will require you to learn how to crawl the blockchain to find weaknesses (the boss is the chain?).
Since this is an allegory, the protagonist will die in the end and the evil corporation will get to reclaim his NFTs to resell for more profits. This opens the way for a sequel where the legend of his fight with the evil NFT corp echoes in the school. A small band of school kids will band together to piece together the truth about NFTs. This game will have to be an indie title from the original developers after they get fired from the company because they refuse to support the game after launch when they discover that the game is actually a training simulator to edutain the masses to accept NFTs and the idea of "play to earn" as a way to make money in the metaverse.
EA has fans? Interesting.
There’s only two games that could make me care about that company again: Boom Blox Remaster and Fight Night. Other than that? Eh, because we all know they’ll never give Road Rash the revival it deserves.
@Joeynator3000
Um...
I played The Sims games on consoles and handhelds.
@anoyonmus
But at least I can pick the PlayStation version.
@BanjoPickles and skitchin'
They could surprise me by announcing they’re not actually in league with Satan.
Surprise...Surprise Mechanics?
Pass.
Oh, I think those ARE some surprises that I want to miss.
Unless that surprise is a Switch port of the Mass Effect trilogy or a new game that matches the quality of the older games in the series, I'm not terribly interested.
@Anti-Matter I would love a reboot of My Sims on the Switch. Bring back the multiplayer.
Their new football/soccer game without the FIFA partnership is gonna be a flop
99% guaranteed Switch will miss out on all of them. Save for maybe “not-FIFA anymore”.
please bring Madden back to Nintendo!
I'm sure those surprises will be unprecedented as well.
Hope it’s something PvZ related, honestly the only thing that EA makes I like lol.
Is it that their hand is in my pocket?
Your gonna really have to try EA if you are gonna surprise me, because you guys do the same self sabotage too your games every time!
Just put Madden, Mass Effect Trilogy and Sims on the Switch for God sakes.
By which they mean madden and their new fifa game
I expect some info regarding the upcoming Dead Space Remake but tbh I'm not that bothered about it at all plus I'm not that fond of EA now either.
NHL '94 with current and/or retro rosters, please.
It’s ea. it’s every year the same ***** with higher prices. They lost innovation and interesting gameplay over 10 years ago.
I think I don’t miss anything if I miss this.
(Except we get NfS Most Wanted 2, but the reboot of MW was bad, so no hopes for any good games from EA)
Zero chance it's:
1. On the Switch.
2. Good
3. Without any microtransactions
EA and the smirking emoji? Makes sense.
Only reason I came to this article was to read the shade against EA in the comments.
I think you’re giving them a hard time. They have promised us surprises!
(EA never said they would be good surprises…)
Would like a single player campaign for Apex Legends. I will gladly pay money for that. Surprise me EA!
I'd rather stub my toe
A new SSX game? The Sims for the Switch? A new Medal of Honor? A new Nuclear Strike? That's all I want.
All I want is the Sims for switch. ✌️
Only EA fans i know of is probably people who only buys a console just for Football. Seeing them say to stay tuned because of surprises is like watching a magikarp using slapsh.
Well, for me and really I repeated in another time, I wish for:
-New classic style Need For Speed (or Remake). (and for classic, I refer the versions from 1994 to 2002)
-a new Sim City, but really some that take the classics elements left in Sim City 4, and, some extras are welcome.
-a new Burnout or a Remake of Classics ones.
-A new My Sims
Aye? EA can toke ma boaby.
It's EA, i definitely want to miss it
They've already brought two racers to Switch, so hope springs eternal for a Rivals port. Payback would be even cooler (I'd be content with having to gather all the chips and billboards from the recent PS4 progress anew, since a portable playthrough lends itself much better to them anyway), but let's temper the wishful thinking here. Naturally, I wouldn't say no to something Dragon Age or Dead Space either - nor to EA going Square Enix on Switch and necromancing a comparatively more exotic classic like Populous. A nerd can dream!😆
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
EA surprises 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Surprises aren't exactly EA's strong suit.
I'm seeing a logo for FIFA23 even after all the hubbub, at least.
@SakuraHaruka that would be awesome. NfS till MW was the best Underground 2 and MW are my favorites. I wiped love to have a burnout from the ps2 era. Paradise city was only 1 player, no split screen and no mindless crahses.
Probably not as a Switch owner
I have not been interested in EA in years. They have a catalogue of phenomenal games that have been left in the dust.
Give me any of these Bullfrog Productions (all of these) as makes on Switch and you can have my money!
1. Populous 3 (any remake)
2. Theme Park 2 (the original as a remake)
3. Dungeon Keeper 3 (any remake)
4. Syndicate 2 (the original as a remake)
5. Magic Carpet 3 (any remake)
Any of these also... are they mad? 100k+ userbase?
6. The Sims™
7. SimCity™
8. Command & Conquer (remakes)
9. Need for Speed (any remake)
10. Dead Space (any remake)
Enough said!
Is this the thread where all the cool kids that bash EA hang out….. how very 2008…
Yeah EA…. You are so bad and evil…. (Except now unfortunately many many games companies are worse)…. Let’s all pretend ea make no good games…
He’s behind you…..
EA the gaming pantomime villain….
The comments have amused me though…
I’m looking forward to what they announce. Anything Star Wars would be nice. Anything switch would be nice. News on College football would be nice
@NinjaNicky any ssx on switch but especially a SSX 3 remake/standard version would do…
@zbinks any NHL on switch would please me!
"EA has some surprises you apparently won't want to miss."
Doubt it.
Are there any surprises that don't involve NFTs?
Would love Madden and NHL. They would both kill it bc there are no alternatives on the Switch
