With E3 yet again absent from the gaming calendar and Geoff Keighley readying to return this week with his Summer Game Fest alternative, the ESA has re-emerged with a reminder it’s planning to bring E3 back as both a digital and in-person event next year.
E3’s future has been looking increasingly uncertain in recent times, given the ESA’s continuing struggle to adequately adapt the show in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The event has been cancelled twice in the last three years – first in 2020 and again this year – with 2021’s virtual event proving to be a decidedly lacklustre affair.
But even before coronavirus, E3’s domination of the gaming calendar was growing ever-more wobbly, as an increasing number of publishers – including Sony, EA, and Activision – all abandoned the show in order to focus on their own bespoke events outside of the E3 umbrella.
