\"EA <\/p>\n

EA has revealed that it will not be holding its usual EA Play Live event this year, which is traditionally an event the company uses to reveal new games and share more info about existing games, typically held during the summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This news comes by way of IGN<\/a><\/em>, which reports that rather than hosting an EA Play Live event like in previous summers, the publisher will instead reveal more about its projects \u201cwhen the time is right for each of them.\u201d Here\u2019s what an EA representative told IGN<\/em> in a statement sent to the publication:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love EA Play Live as it\u2019s our way of connecting with our players and sharing what\u2019s new with all of you. However, this year things aren\u2019t lining up to show you everything on one date. We have exciting things happening at our world-class studios and this year, we\u2019ll reveal much more about these projects when the time is right for each of them. We look forward to spending time with you throughout the year.\u201d\u00a0 <\/p>\n

EA Play Live events have basically become EA\u2019s own E3-like showcase, with the publisher even opting to hold it usually around the same time as E3. It\u2019s been doing EA Play Live since 2016. Before the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the event was a live in-person event where players could play things shown during the showcase and more. However, as a result of the pandemic, the event became a steaming one, akin to something like a Nintendo Direct or PlayStation State of Play.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This news comes just a few months after word that E3 would not be held as in-person event this year<\/a> dropped. However, Geoff Keighley\u2019s own E3-like event, Summer Games Fest, is happening this year as usual.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While waiting to see what EA shows throughout the year, check out the latest footage of its Dead Space remake<\/a>. Read about how EA pledged total freedom to its studios with game development<\/a>, including Dragon Age, Titanfall, and more last year after that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
