E3 2020 officially canceled
E3 2020 has been officially canceled due to COVID-19. Organizers are exploring an online format, while participants like Microsoft plan their own events.
Yesterday's rumors about the cancellation of the E3 2020 gaming expo have been officially confirmed. E3 organizers are currently exploring the possibility of an online broadcast for the event.
Concerns over the COVID-19 virus are growing daily, and we felt it necessary to act decisively in this situation. While we're disappointed to no longer host the planned event for our fans and supporters, we know this is the right decision for today. Our team will directly contact exhibitors and attendees with information on full refunds. We are also exploring options with our partners to coordinate an online experience (online broadcasts) to showcase industry announcements and news in June 2020.
Immediately after the official cancellation document was posted, rumors began circulating that some E3 participants, including Microsoft, were already discussing alternative plans. It's highly probable that Microsoft and Warner Bros. Interactive, for example, might plan their own online events on platforms like Twitch or YouTube. Given this, it's likely that gamers hungry for information won't be left without announcements and new game releases.
