E3 has been waning in popularity ever since publishers realized they could showcase their games themselves for a fraction of the effort and price. A few publishers have supported the event, but many have decided that the death of E3 will be sooner rather than later. Well, the event has taken another blow as it looks to have been completely canceled this year for the first time in its entire history.
This news comes from PR Lead Will Powers who has apparently received an email from the ESA that this year's digital E3 event has been canceled entirely. The ESA had confirmed that E3 would go ahead digitally due to worries surrounding a new strain of Covid-19, although it now looks like the organization has axed plans for the event entirely. This hasn't been confirmed by the ESA just yet, but it's likely only a matter of time before an official announcement is made.
