It would seem the ESA has sent out email stating that even E3 2022's previously possible digital showcase has been canceled this year.
The ESA announced that this year's E3 games showcase will once again forgo a physical event amid new and prominent COVID-19 concerns.
E3 2021 confirmed the participation of a number of further large publishers and developers taking part in its upcoming all-digital event.
Despite rumors that E3 2021 could have some sort of on-demand paid experience, the ESA has stepped in to claim that the contents of the digital showcase will be free to watch.
The ESA is reportedly aiming for a mid-june return of E3 in digital form, if it can gather publisher support leading up to the event.
The release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate set a new NPD record for the highest launch-month sales in dollars of any platform-exclusive video game in the company's recorded history.
The show will go on, even as Sony bows out. The Entertainment Software Association has issued a statement confirming a full E3 2019 docket that won't include PlayStation.
15,000 members of the public will make the show even more hectic and chaotic that it was previously.
The number is up 5% from 2015, according to the Entertainment Software Association annual report.
Early-bird passes cost $149, while general admission will run attendees $249.
