EA stuffs NBA Live 20 to focus on next-gen consoles

Last quarter, Electronic Arts released FIFA 20, Madden NFL 20, and NHL 20. But once again, the company’s basketball sim NBA Live was a no-show. Now, EA is confirming that it is canceling that game — even though it never officially announced it.

“We’re not launching a new NBA Live HD product this season,” EA chief executive officer Andrew Wilson said during a conference call with investors. “Instead, we’re expanding our vision, leaning hard into the new leading-edge platforms, and taking the time to ensure we deliver against the opportunity for our players.”
