E3 is canceled, but the show must go on—and in the case of Electronic Arts, that show will take place on June 11, beginning at 4 pm PT/7 pm ET. EA said that it will "showcase our games through a live broadcast, community content, and more" during the all-digital event. 

Despite the loss of E3, Gamescom, and other major events as a result of the coronavirus outbreak, 2020 could be a big year for EA. A new Bethesda, it's that it is never too soon to confirm that you're actually doing what the fans want you to do.

Info on Anthem overhaul—but I'm just guessing here, so take that for what it's worth.
