They’ll save announcements for Gamescon, which they’ve done since The Sims 4 was announced (the Sims 4 was announced with the logo in May but nothing more than a name and that it was being developed, but officially announced at Gamescon as a full game).
Well, why couldn't they do that at EAPlay, and then fully announce it later at Gamescom?
Why announce a game at EA Play that you can’t play, when the event is centred around being able to play EA’s current games?
EA Play play is literally an event for the public to play EA games on the pop up stands.
If they were to announce a game, they’d want a big platform. They announce at Gamescon because all the press and publications are there. At EA Play, there’s barely a platform. EA don’t have a history of announce any brand new games at EA Play.
They might break tradition, but it’s extrenely unlikely so getting your hopes up about it is kind of silly.
Also, EA usually announce new games in investor meetings. Both the Sims 3 & 4 were first mentioned in the investor conference. They then make a brief official announcement after, and it’s usually just “hey it’s coming soon” not “hey this is it”.
