No EA PLAY LIVE IN 2022

Since 2016, Electronic Arts's leaders already organize the annual "EA Play Live" events in order to bring their own announcements to the fan in the choice of E3. For IGN, a spokesman for EA recently explained that there will be no "EA Play Live" event in 2022.

The reason for this: This year, the news, announcements and status updates can not be prepared so that they can be ran out of an appointment. Instead, EA wants to raise the info in 2022 in smaller appetizers when the respective projects are so far. Nevertheless, the chances are well that, for example, we receive news from the EA cosmos in the course of the Summer Game Fest from Geoff Keighley.

Rumors to plans from Microsoft

Many fans are particularly looking forward to the next, large showcase event of Microsoft or Team Xbox. Sure, the recent takeover of Activision Blizzard will not play a role this year. It looks different with regard to the upcoming Bethesda projects, which have also been Microsoft since 2020/2021. And with Starfield is at least a big Bethesda release on November 11, 2022, which still wants to be properly advertised. This comes Red case from Arcane. Also to other Microsoft projects such as the Outer Worlds 2 , Avowed or Fable ** could give it new details so slowly.

If it goes to the industry insiders, there are several events from Microsoft in the coming months. Shpeshal Nick wants to learn from his sources that there should be shows in May and September (source). According to Jeff Grubb, however, a show in the course of the E3 is firmly scheduled, and the Team Xbox is currently talking about the June event with Third-Party publishers (source) to put something big to his legs here. In the course of the events, according to Grubb, the new edition of Perfect Dark could be presented for the first time more closely.
