Electronic Artshas announcedthat it will be holding its next major streaming presentation, EA Play Live, on July 22, hosted by none other than WWE wrestler and resident video game fan Xavier Woods — taking time out from his own gaming show, UpUpDownDown.
While the publisher is currently remaining tight-lipped about the live stream’s contents, viewers can likely expect updates on DICE’sBattlefield 2042, BioWare’sDragon Age 4, and a selection of EA’s trademark sports & racing titles, especially given the studio’srecent purchaseof rubber-burnin’ UK developer Codemasters — responsible for the development of road-rippers such asDirt, F1, World Rally Championship, andProject CARS.
For many, however, the true draw lies in the recent rumors that Electronic Arts plans toresurrect a much-beloved IPduring the EA Play Live presentation, with all of the whispers pointing toward a new entry in the sci-fi horror franchise,Dead Space. EA shut down original series producer Visceral Games in 2017, which will leave the new title in the hands of internal studio EA Motive… If itisDead Space, of course.
EA Play Live kicks off Thursday, July 22, with a pre-show starting at 10:00 PT / 13:00 ET / 18:00 BST ahead of the main presentation. We will, of course, bring you all of the hot scoops right here on Destructoid. Personally, I’d like to see a brand newMirror’s Edgesequel revealed, because my hopes are bitterly unrealistic.
EA Play Live is only a month away! Watch our pre-show July 22nd starting at 10AM PT/1PM ET, followed by the main showcase. See you then. 👋pic.twitter.com/1PZ5IXRYeP
