IGN reports that this year's EA Play Live has been canceled. EA Play is an event hosted by Electronic Arts to announce future titles. EA Play was often released in conjecture, or proximity, to E3. An Electronic Arts representative told IGN that instead of a live event this year, the company will announce future projects "when the time is right for each of them."
The representative elaborates that EA values EA Play as a way to connect with fans and to show what's coming next, but this year "things aren't lining up to show you everything on one date," so the event was canceled. The in-person E3 event was also canceled, with the E3 organizers opting for a digital showcase again.

This news must be unfortunate, especially for people who were very excited to get things back to normal and have in-person events again.
Last year's EA Play announced the Dead Space Remake, as well as several new Star Wars games. For more on all things related to EA, keep reading on Pro Game Guides.
