BioWare will not be presenting any of its projects during EA Play 2021 later this month, meaning neither Dragon Age 4 nor the new Mass Effect game will be in attendance. The latter is still many years away and wasn't expected to turn up on 22nd July 2021, but with the latest Dragon Age title having been shown a few times in the past, more information and footage was to be expected. However, that won't be the case.
The developer's official Twitter account posted: "We’re hard at work creating the next @dragonage and @masseffect games and have some exciting stuff coming to @SWTOR this year. While we won’t be showing anything at EA Play Live, be sure to check out our SWTOR Livestream at 12PM PT today for info on what’s to come!"
Instead, EA Play will be roughly 40 minutes in length and focus on Battlefield 2042, Apex Legends, and Lost in Random. The rumoured Dead Space game is also expected to be announced during the show, with new speculation suggesting it's more of a remake that builds upon the original title with new content. Previously, the project was rumoured to be a complete reboot.
Were you hoping to see Dragon Age 4 or the new Mass Effect title later this month? Let us know in the comments below.

Anyone caught making fun of my new avatar gets an instant ban.
Was expecting Dragon Age to be there but BioWare gonna BioWare!
Really looking forward to a new Dragon Age game. Please! Hurry!
I was hoping for the the Dragon Age Remaster collection announcement which I hope they are doing after how well Received the Mass effect Trilogy was.
It's about time we get to play Dragon Age 1 and 2(Plus DLC) on next gen.
So…. I guess Star Wars Jedi 2 is probably the only thing to hope for then?
No Mass Effect? That will leave a lot of 'Dead Space' in the schedule 🤔 wonder what they'll fill it with? 😉
And quite right, especially with Mass Effect, the last two were heavily rushed with Andromeda not well planned. Hopefully EA have finally learned to give them time.
@LiamCroft oh please tell us the story! Did you have a bet that Mass Effect would be there?
@Rob_230 I did lose a bet https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2021/05/soapbox_why_im_not_expecting_a_ps5_ps4_press_conference_from_playstation_next_month#comment6329327
I have zero hope for either game anyway.
Good to see them hard at work without rushing something out for a event.
No Mass Effect was expected but I am definitely shocked Dragon Age will be absent. I figured it was about time to see that in action finally but there's no shame in showing nothing if you got nothing to show. Still got hope for Dead Space at least.
Very misleading article title. I expected this to be about EA Play.
@Milktastrophe It...is? What?
@LiamCroft I think that Milk meant EA Play, not EA Play. Also I like your new profile picture.
I was going to say, ‘what the hell have they been doing since 2017!?’ But then I remembered they did Anthem... 👀
@LiamCroft So It's Your Turn Now Eh I Remember When Sammy Had To Change His Picture To One Of Phil Spencer.
Damn that's a bummer. So I won't be tuning in, we won't be seeing nfs either will we? Or will that be a surprise reveal and release later this year opposite fh5
@LiamCroft I like your new avatar. You should think about keeping it. Layering it over your previous avatar or putting it next to it might be something to look at as well.
Was expecting to not see anything from ME, I mean, that game is probably nothing much than a glint in someone's eye. But I was expecting to see Dragon Age, feels like that game has been in development for 5 years now.
Dragon Age development must be such a mess. I suspect they've rebooted it at least twice now - once to rebuild it around live service components, and now again to remove them.
@LiamCroft EA Play is EA's subscription service ala PS Now/Game Pass, formerly EA Access.
They need to take their damn time and show the game when it is 99% ready. Tired of these prick tease trailers with no release dates. Plus, they can't afford to screw another game up, it will bury them. Will be third strike.
Well... they did have exciting stuff on that Swtor stream. New xpac and future graphics and tech upgrades.
@fR_eeBritney And what a waste of time that was!
Would like to see a Dragon Age 1 remaster and a DA2 but only with improved and varied textures for locations.
DA:I was one of my favourite games for the PS4 and was one of the first games to make me do the jump to the new console as the PS3 wasn't up to it. Still waiting for something similar to arrive that'll make me justify spending the £450.
I'm actually looking forward to this event, but only for the rumored Dead Space project.
Yeah, development issues aren’t really selling me on this Dragon Age being any good. That they have shown nothing but art is worrying, if I cared enough
