Get ready for the music. You know what music I'm talking about. John Williams' anthem for nerds the world over: The Star Wars theme song.

Electronic Arts is expected to give new details about its highly anticipated new game, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, during its presentations at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles starting June 8 at 9 a.m. PT (noon ET). which will tell the tale of iconic space heroes shortly after the rise of Darth Vader and the evil empire. It promises an engrossing story, light sabers and much more when it's released later this year.

That isn't the only big announcement EA likely has planned, but it is likely to get some of the most attention. Other things you can expect from the game maker is an update to its Anthem action adventure game, which launched to mixed reviews when it was released in February. 

The company is also likely to discuss new changes to Apex Legends, its online last-man-standing battle royale game that became the talk of the industry when it launched just before Anthem. Months later, people still speak well of EA's newest competitor to Epic's Fortnite, though its popularity among streamers on Amazon's Twitch live video service has dropped.
