Sad news my fellow BioWare game-enjoyers: they don’t have anything to show at EA Play Live this month. Truly, can EA even do a livestream without showing some rocks fromDragon Age 4? How could they just whack Liara in the trailer forMass Effect 5and leave us hanging like that? Oh well. I had been holding out hope that they might announceMass Effect 3’s multiplayer for Legendary Edition, but I guess we’ll just watch moreBattlefield 2042gameplay again. Sigh.

Last night,BioWare tweetedthat they’re “hard at work creating the nextDragon AgeandMass Effectgames”, though they “won’t be showing anything at EA Play Live”.

Begrudgingly, I can understand why they’re being so tight-lipped on their new things. They showedMass Effect: Andromedafairly early, and on release fans were disappointed with what they got compared to what they’d been shown (I still don’t think it wasthatbad, though it’s certainly in a better place now). It also feels like developers are being a little more cautious in general after the wholeCyberpunk 2077fiasco. Also,Anthem was a thing.

But that’s okay. I’d rather BioWare be able to take their time with their next games. As much as I complain about the fact they’ve mostly shown us rocks from the new Dragon Age, they’re very nice rocks. BioWare have also alreadyteased the return of Varric, and revealedDragon Age 4 will be set in Tevinter.

As for what Electronic Arts will actually have on show at their NotE3 festivities,on their websitethey say we’ll hear from Dice, Respawn, EA Sports and their EA Originals partners (which includes Velan Studios who madeKnockout City, Hazelight who madeIt Takes Two, and more).

EA Play Live has a number of shows leading up the main event this month, including an FPS-focused stream on July 8th, an EA indies stream on the 13th, then lotsa sports on the 19th and 20th. Then on the 22nd, they say: “the main show brings the real excitement, focusing on games that are coming out soon rather than in the all-to-distant future.”
