Electronic Arts shows its solidarity and its stance against racism by delaying its event to present its news, scheduled for this week.
Not only in the United States, but throughout the world, millions of voices against racism are being heard, and the video game world is not being alien. To the multiple samples of support have been added several delays of events scheduled for these days, among which are some very important as the presentation of the first PlayStation 5 games, which was to be held this past Thursday. The last one that has decided that it is not the best time for this type of celebration is Electronic Arts, since next day 11 was scheduled for EA Play Live 2020, but it will have to wait at least one more week.
In this way, the EA Play 2020, usually held at the same time as E3 but outside the context of the Angelina fair, will finally take place on the 18th, as is necessary this year due to the coronavirus crisis, it will be digital. “With the important conversations and the important voices being heard around the world right now, we have delayed the time to gather around the game,” they said from the Canadian company’s official Twitter account.

All large companies have joined in supporting this movement, among which are the three hardware manufacturers, and not only Sony, but also Nintendo and Microsoft have taken sides in recent days. And in addition to delayed events, some studies have also announced very serious measures to combat racism in their online video games.
What will we see in EA Play?
Electronic Arts has been very predictable in recent years, and one of its pillars will be the sports aspect, especially Madden NFL 21, with Lamar Jackson on the cover, and which will have a significant presence due to the nearness of its launch. FIFA 21 will also be present, which has already confirmed its launch before the end of October.
