The publisher said during a financial call today that new titles from BioWare and DICE will come out of its "full reveal" at E3, along with games from EA Sports and demonstrations of the next-gen sports engine and Frostbite 3.

EA will host its own pre-E3 press briefing on June 10, as previously confirmed.

The publisher said it plans to release "11 major titles" across consoles and PC, and 15 mobile games in its fiscal year 2014, which ends March 31, 2014.

EA Q4 Results:

• EA to reduce workforce by 10 per cent
  
• Battlefield 3 Premium passes 3.5 million subs
  
• FIFA 13 sells over 14.5 million
  
• SimCity sales pass 1.6 million since launch
  
• No EA Star Wars games before April 2014

"In fiscal 14 we will release 11 major titles across consoles and on the PC," said EA Labels president Frank Gibeau during the financials call today.

"This includes our core sports titles, Madden, FIFA, FIFA Manager, NBA Live, NHL and NCAA Football, as well as Need for Speed, Battlefield, Command & Conquer and from our partners at Insomniac, Fuse," he added.

"You'll hear more about Frostbite3 and our new sports engine," said Gibeau.

The Sims 4 is also among those titles, but it was later noted that the 11-game count does not include games resulting from its new Star Wars deal with Disney, since its "not planning" to release any major Star Wars titles in FY2014.
