Electronic Arts has confirmed it won't be hosting an EA Play Live showcase — neither physically nor digitally — later this year during the traditional E3 timeframe in June. In a statement issued to IGN, the publisher explains this is because the projects it currently has on the books "aren't lining up to show you everything on one date". Instead, EA will share more information on its upcoming games "when the time is right for each of them" throughout 2022.
Those titles include Dragon Age 4, the Dead Space remake, a sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and its usual range of sports games.
The complete statement reads: "We love EA Play Live as it's our way of connecting with our players and sharing what’s new with all of you. However, this year things aren't lining up to show you everything on one date. We have exciting things happening at our world-class studios and this year we’ll 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!"
This is another blow to the customary slate of conferences and announcements around the Electronic Entertainment Expo, which still isn't even confirmed to be actually taking place digitally this year. We already know there are no plans to host the show in person, and an online event hasn't been announced to take its place just yet.

I'm only wanting to know about Jedi Fallen Order 2 and the next Mass Effect is still years away.
A shame, would've been amusing to watch Alex Jones and Ronan Keating playing some EA games.
Normally I wouldn’t mind but with fallen order 2, the SW strategy game, the SW first person shooter, ME4, DA4, dead space remake and skate 4 this year would’ve been fire for EA play live.
Between EA and Ubisoft, I can’t pick who I’m generally less interested in.
This is better than wasting our time with concept art and people talking about their game and how much they are excited and can't wait to show us more.
R.i.p. to. Wwf scott hall aka razor ramon.the bad guy.aka scarface.one of the best wrestlers ever. Ea does have interesting games on the pipeline.word up son
Makes sense. Show us something when you have something to show.
Can we not have 15 minutes of logos, cinematics and annuals sports filler, welp
I'm waiting for The Sims 5 announcement.
Mass Effect is the only series in their library I care about and that's at best a late 2023 release. I don't expect any updates until the next N7 day.
I say im excited for the new Dragon age, but its been so long i dont think i remember a single thing about DA:I anymore.
Probably for the best. Even when EA has genuinely good games to show, they always manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Also expect many of these titles to show up at Microsoft's show instead as they seem to be fostering a decent relationship these days
Just give us a developer video on Fallen Order 2 followed by a trailer ready for a late 2022 release.
That will be enough EA.
@Rob_230 Or expect them to be acquired by Microsoft!
@Anti-Matter Wow yes, that’s exactly what we need, several thousand quid of DLC being made utterly redundant.
This is all just jargon for "we're currently in the process of being bought by Microsoft"
Hopefully we'll still get some updates between E3 and Summer Games Fest when it comes to the next Mass Effect and Dragon Age, as well as the Dead Space remake and the Jedi Fallen Order sequel.
