So, let me get this straight…
- The latest EA earnings call indicated that DA4 won't be out before April 2024.
- EA seems to favor relatively short marketing campaigns these days, if we're looking at how Jedi Survivor or Dead Space started to be advertised around 6-8 months before release. (Also, BioWare has probably learned their lesson with Anthem, when they showed stuff way too early.)
- Jeff Grubb says that DA4 is currently targeting Summer 2024 and is not expecting it to be announced this summer, yet people are speculating that DA4 might release on DAI's 10th anniversary in November 2024.
- All this considered, I just can't see them showing something until maybe the Game Awards in December? :/
- HOWEVER, the date of the pre-sale for the vinyl is now (apparently) tomorrow June 8th, coinciding with Summer Game Fest. Which, oddly enough, marks now the second time this happened, when it was previously said to start at May 10th, the same date that the finale volume of The Missing came out (...yet nothing was released that day and no one knows what happened there? lol) Which is why people are now thinking this can't possibly be a coincidence and there will be something at Summer Game Fest. lol
- The Missing comic was marketed as a direct tie-in to DA4, but if the game is still more than one year away/marketing won’t begin any time soon, then I’m just wondering why they would even do such a build up *now*?
In conclusion: I'm just so damn confused at this point and I have no flippin clue what/when/why something’s gonna happen anymore. 😂
......Am I going to watch every single one of these live gaming showcases anyway?
Absolutely.

You and Jacob amble through the streets of Hollywood hills, the chill energy of the neighbourhood surrounding you as you take your dogs Layla and Freddie for a walk.
You’ve been friends since high school back in Australia and only started dating around 2 years ago when you visited LA and caught up with Jacob. And it was only a couple months ago you moved across the world to be with your boyfriend.
You weren’t foreign to the recognition Jacob garners, fans occasionally approach for a quick chat or photo, and for the most part, it’s a positive experience for the both of you.
A young woman, probably in her early 20s, spots Jacob from afar, her eyes widening with recognition. She hurries over, her excitement palpable. The two of you stop as he comes up, “Hi Jacob!” She excitedly greets, her phone ready for a selfie.
Jacob flashes his signature smile, “Hey, how’s it going?” The fan smiles widely, her full attention on your boyfriend as you stand to the side, “Great! Can I take a photo with you please?” She asks, “Yeah, sure.”
The fan, seemingly disregarding your presence, abruptly hands you her phone. “Take the photo for me,” she demands, her tone leaving no room for refusal. Caught off guard by her directness, you manage a surprised “Uh, sure.”
Even you could tell Jacob was caught off guard by her rude behaviour, his eyebrows slightly knitted. You reluctantly take the phone and frame the photo as the woman poses with Jacob, her hand around his waist as he respectfully hovers his hand on her back.
She glances at you with a dismissive look, as if you’re merely an accessory to the moment. “Make sure it’s good,” she commands, refocusing on Jacob as he visibly becomes agitated.
Despite the awkwardness, you snap the photo with a forced smile. The fan snatches her phone without a word of thanks and strides away, disappearing from view.
Jacob, sensing your discomfort, lets out a sigh. “She seemed nice” His voice laced with sarcasm as you chuckle. “They’re not usually like that, trust me.” He remarks, irritation evident in his voice.
Jacob puts a reassuring arm around your shoulders, “Don’t let it get to you. I didn’t even really smile in the photo,” He says with a cheeky grin as you couldn’t help but laugh.
~
Later that day, Jacob takes to his instagram page that he mostly posted work related things, and shared a photo of the two of you with your dogs, along with a thoughtful caption.

Hey everyone! I don’t usually post things like this but it needs to be said. I love meeting you all in public, and I’m always grateful for your support. However, let’s remember to be respectful to everyone, including the people I’m with. Shoving phones in someone’s hand, demanding for them to take a photo and being rude isn’t cool. Let’s keep it a positive experience. Much love to you all!! ❤️
