Earlier this year, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) had shared that its E3 2022 event would be a digital-only showcase due to the ongoing health concerns surrounding COVID-19. Well, it looks like the event will not be taking place at all this year.

The ESA shared today in an official statement that there would be no digital E3 2022 showcase as well – effectively cancelling the event altogether. Instead, the organization shared that it will instead be focusing on delivering a “revitalized physical and digital E3 experience” in 2023 instead.

Here is the full statement below:

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.
