It has been confirmed that it will maintainFully online formatAfter this year's E3 2022 exhibition was held, relevant news further indicated that more game companies may choose to announce new works through their own events or through the Summer Game Festival, so this year's E3 2022 may face a complete cancellation.
VentureBeat reporter Jeff GrubbdiscloseSince most game companies hope to hold their own events to announce the latest developments of their new games, or unveil new work news through the Summer Game Festival, this year's E3 2022 exhibition may not be successfully held even if it is changed to an online format due to the epidemic due to the lack of sufficient industry participation.
In fact, the E2020 exhibition in 3 was postponed because most game companies tended to hold their own events.Cancel completely, so this year's E3 exhibition activities may also be completely cancelled due to the same factors.
However, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), the organizer of E3, has not yet responded to this, nor has it explained the specific details of E3 2022, which will be held online.
In recent years, more and more game companies have chosen to announce new games through events other than E3. By updating new games faster and maintaining in-depth interactions with players, they have maintained a high level of attention for their new games. This shows that the E3 exhibition is no longer the main channel for game companies to promote new games. Therefore, in recent years, due to the impact of the epidemic and the change in promotion methods, more game companies may choose to leave the E3 exhibition in the future, or announce key game news in the form of independent events.
