What to expect

EA has announced that the main EA Play Live show will be around 40 minutes, be hosted by Up Up Down Down's Austin Creed - otherwise known as WWE star Xavier Woods - and focus on games to release soon, such as Battlefield 2042. There wil aso be details on what's coming to Apex Legends, gameplay footage of card battler Lost in Random, plus a couple of surprises.

"The show is a fast-paced one, coming in around 40 minutes and will feature what’s next for games like Battlefield 2042 and Apex Legends. You’ll also see the first gameplay for Lost in Random, featuring explosive dice battles, time-freezing tactics and card collection. We’ll have a couple other games to highlight as well, but for those, you’ll just have to wait and see," said EA in a blog post.

It is thought at least one of the "other games" will be FIFA 22 - which was recently announced. The other could be a rumoured reboot/remake of Dead Space. Sadly, neither Mass Effect 4 nor Dragon Age 4 will make an appearance.
