E3 S Digital Event Has Been Cancelled Meaning There S No E3 At All This Year

The news was first shared not by the event organisers, but by Razer PR Will Powers in a tweet. Powers wrote that he “Just got an email… It’s official, E3 digital is official cancelled for 2022.” Sources have reportedly told IGN that “discussions about a possible digital equivalent have been ongoing” since January, but that the ESA “seems to be making plans to regroup for a larger comeback in 2023.” Last year, E3 2021 was run as a digital-only event due to Covid-19. At the time, the ESA said they “[looked] forward to coming back together to celebrate E3 2022 in person.” Obviously that hasn’t worked out. E3 2020 was also cancelled outright as a result of the pandemic. Since then, the summer hype void has been filled by other parties, including Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest. The GeoffFest will return this June.
