Rumors of E3\u2019s return are now confirmed<\/a> by the ESA.\u00a0From June 12th to the 15th, game<\/a>rs and geeks can tune-in to the free, online-only E3 2021 livestream. Big names like Nintendo and Xbox will take the stage at this event, though Sony is absent expo\u2019s lineup for the third year in a row.<\/p>\n

The Electronic Entertainment Expo (or \u201cE3\u201d) is the gaming industry\u2019s largest annual event. But like most in-person events, E3 was cancelled last year to protect workers and attendees from COVID-19. It was the first time that an E3 event had been cancelled in the expo\u2019s 25-year history. Without E3 2020, some developers had no place to announce their new games, which led to a few one-off<\/a> events and a new traditions, like Geoff Keighley\u2019s Summer Game Fest<\/a> (which will return this June).<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, E3 2021\u2019s lineup includes Nintendo, Xbox, Capcom, Konami, Ubisoft, Take-Two Interactive, Warner Bros. Games, and Koch Media<\/a>. The ESA emphasizes that these companies have confirmed their attendance early, and that the final lineup will look much larger. That said, Sony is unlikely to attend the event, given its decision to skip both E3 2019 and E3 2020 (Sony turned down E3 2020 a few months before governments really acknowledged COVID-19).<\/p>\n

WELCOME BACK! It\u2019s been hard waiting quietly as we got ready for today, but we are thrilled to officially announce our plans for June 12th-15th!<\/p>\n

Details for E3 2021 are still scarce, though the ESA suggests that the event will be more \u201cinclusive,\u201d with a mix of both large and small developers. In its press release, the ESA seems excited for the online-only event, which could reach \u201cmore people than ever\u201d through an endless, free livestream.<\/p>\n

While an online-only E3 may be a bummer for some people, it seems that this is just a temporary setback. The ESA plans to host an in-person E3 in 2022 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, bringing old friends, fans, journalists, and developers back together after a two-year break.
