EA Sports Next-Gen: FIFA 21 & Madden NFL 21

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfvMNaphiUE&w=560&h=315]

EA Sports gave our first look at FIFA 21 and Madden NFL 21 on next-gen consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series X). However, they’re also coming out on PS4, Xbox One, and PC (Steam and Origin).

You can already pre-order FIFA 21 and Madden NFL 21 starting from now.

New Skate Game

The biggest surprise of the night (it really wasn’t) was the reveal of a new Skate game. The last entry was Skate 3 for the PS3 and Xbox 360 back in 2010 over a decade ago.

Skate series producer Chris “Cuz” Perry appeared to announce the studio is working on a new Skate game, but he didn’t reveal any other details about the game, including what its official title is.


Overall, EA Play 2020 felt underwhelming and a bit meh, considering how expected several of the announcements and reveals were. The best bit of the live stream was the Star Wars Squadrons gameplay reveal, and we already know that was coming beforehand.

The three EA Originals (It Takes Two, Lost In Random and Rocket Arena) looks fine for the most part, but only one of those is releasing soon. Personally, I wasn’t really expecting anything from BioWare, but it was still disappointing to see nothing new or concrete from them.

No Mass Effect or Dragon Age news? Boo. Plus, does anyone even care about a new Skate game, especially considering that we’re already getting a remastered version of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 And 2 later this year.

You can watch the 50-minute entire EA Play 2020 presentation below.
