E3 2021 Coming this June as a Digital-Only Event
The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) today announced that E3 is back for 2021 as an all-virtual event.
E3 2021 is officially happening. Last year’s E3 2020 was abruptly cancelled at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ESA was unable to get an online event off the ground. For 2021, however, the ESA has gotten commitments from major publishers across the industry to participate. Even better, while rumors suggested the event might be locked behind a paywall, E3 2021 will be available to everyone for free.
Participating publishers include Nintendo, Xbox, Capcom, Konami, Ubisoft, Take-Two Interactive, Warner Bros. Games, and Koch Media. Notably absent are heavyweights like Activision Blizzard, Square Enix, EA, Bandai Namco, and PlayStation among others. More announcements are to come, so maybe we’ll see some of those current no-shows sign on to participate.
