EA Play going ahead digitally this June No dice. News by Emma Kent Contributor Updated on 5 May 2020 10 comments It's hardly a surprise, but it seems this year's EA Play event will be taking place digitally this year, following the cancellation of most physical events due to the coronavirus outbreak. The online event will take place on 11th June at midnight UK time, and promises "world premieres, news and more". That's all the information we have so far, and there isn't yet an exact schedule - but I imagine it will be similar in form to the livestreams seen in previous years. But filmed from home, I guess. EA Play Live goes digital in 2020!See you on June 11th at 4pm PST... World premieres, news and more! https://t.co/ShTNzjqJ3D pic.twitter.com/xqmYfGBWfs- Electronic Arts (@EA) May 4, 2020 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

The plan to host a digital event means EA Play joins the likes of Gamescom in temporarily moving to a fully-online format. Poor old E3, meanwhile, revised its original plan to hold an online version of the show, and it seems likely many of those announcements will take place in the four-month Summer Game Fest held by Geoff Keighley, which starts in May.
