E3 2022 Cancelled, Comeback Planned For 2023

The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has announced that E3 2022 has been completely cancelled, including the previously-announced online event.

In a statement to Polygon, the ESA said:

E3 will return in 2023 with a reinvigorated showcase that celebrates new and exciting video games and industry innovations.

We previously announced that E3 would not be held in person in 2022 due to the ongoing health risks surrounding COVID-19. Today, we announce that there will also be no digital E3 showcase in 2022.

Instead, we will devote all our energy and resources to delivering a revitalized physical and digital E3 experience next summer. Whether enjoyed from the show floor or your favorite devices, the 2023 showcase will bring the community, media, and industry back together in an all-new format and interactive experience.

We look forward to presenting E3 to fans around the world live from Los Angeles in 2023.

Look for more news and announcements soon.

It looks like all we can look forward to this year is Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest 2022, which will take place in June 2022.
