E3 2022 is not happening in any form this year, will return in 2023

After revealing earlier in the year that E3 2022 would not be an in-person show, the ESA - the Electronic Software Association, have confirmed now that there will be no digital event either, meaning that E3 2022 is not happening.

Here is the full statement from the group:

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.

While sad news, there are already a few events taking place in June that should give everyone their game news fixes and of course, Gamescom 2022 is rolling out in its usual August window.

So what say you? Do you care that E3 is not happening or are you over it already?
