EA has revealed its “big announcement” for today, and it’s a chance to meet an online player that you met through gaming, and no we are not kidding. EA revealed that if you share your story on how you met your online “BFF,” you get a chance to meet them in real life on an all-expenses paid trip arranged by the publisher. This event is called “Let There be BFFs.”

To participate, you’ll have to record a 1-3 minute long video with your online friend telling EA how you met, and what game you met on. Once all the submissions are sent, EA will select two lucky pairs of those BFFs and allow them to meet up in person on an all-expenses-paid trip. Their story will also be featured on EA for millions of people to see, to celebrate the “love for gaming.”
You can sign up for this event through this link, and the publisher is accepting applications from September 27 through October 4. You can find the full rules and regulations about Let There be BFFs here. In other big EA announcements, Koei Tecmo has collaborated with the publisher for an upcoming title, Wild Hearts, which is getting a reveal trailer tomorrow, September 28.
