When E3 2020 was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, the ESA said that they were “exploring options to coordinate an online experience.
Since then, the only developments we got was IGN’s announcement of Summer of Gaming digital event, and E3 2021 was dated.
An E3 representative told PCGamer that they will not be having a digital E3 2020 this year.
A no show in 2020?
Given the disruption brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, we will not be presenting an online E3 2020 event in June. Instead, we will be working with exhibitors to promote and showcase individual company announcements, including on www.E3expo.com, in the coming months.
We look forward to bringing our industry and community together in 2021 to present a reimagined E3 that will highlight new offerings and thrill our audiences.
While we do get that they don’t want to water down the experience … no E3 is not a good thing in our minds. Mainly because E3 was losing ground with a lot of people in the past.
We do hope they prove everyone wrong in 2021 though … but still … not the best decision in our mind to skip 2020..
