Outside of E3, we also know that EA won't hold its yearly EA Play Live event this summer. The event may return in 2023, but this year the E3 event that typically consolidates many gaming announcements to one week in June won't play out like normal.
That was quite surprising as more and more in-person events are returning, and the ESA even demonstrated that it could hold the event digitally before. On March 31, the event organizers at the ESA confirmed that there would be no digital or physical E3 event this year. In 2020, the ESA canceled the event due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but it returned digitally in 2021 with mixed results. Typically, the yearly event took place for a week in Los Angeles and served as a spot where game publishers could announce and advertise their upcoming slates of titles and game-related products. For those wondering how E3 2022's cancelation will impact summer 2022's game reveal landscape, we've broken down everything that is and isn't happening - and that might happen - in the coming months.Į3's absence leaves a crater in the usual gaming hype cycle. So far, we only know of a couple of events that will take place, though there's still time for a lot more to be announced. Companies like Microsoft and Nintendo often tie big reveals to E3, so what is the industry's plan now that E3 2022 is officially canceled? While the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) says E3's physical and digital cancelation this year enables it to "devote all our energy and resources to delivering a revitalized physical and digital E3 experience next summer," it also raises questions regarding how game announcements will happen this summer. We learned this week that 2022 will be the second year since 1995 to not have any kind of E3 expo.

Right now, though, the relevance and viability of E3 2023 are questionable. After being canceled in 20 and being digital-only in 2021, E3 2023 was supposed to be the annual gaming trade show’s grand return.
This puts E3 2023 in a weird overall spot, as we currently know more about the companies that won’t be at the event - like Microsoft, Ubisoft, and Nintendo - than we do about the publishers that will actually be there.
