EA has announced that NBA Live 20 will not ship this year after previously announcing the title would be delayed to late 2019. Now, EA is looking to retool the series for next-gen consoles before releasing NBA Live 20.
During EA’s quarterly financial earnings call for Q2 2020, EA executive vice president Blake Jorgensen revealed that the company will not release NBA Live 20. Instead, NBA Live will be redesigned for next-gen consoles.
EA Sports released the following statement on Twitter:
“We’re excited by our progress but remain hyper ambitious – so we’re not going to release NBA Live 20 this season.” Instead, EA says it has “sights set on creating something fresh for the next generation of players and platforms. We know we need to earn our future every step of the way, so we’re taking time to get it right for our players.”
