The ESA canceled E3 2020 last month due to concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic but is now working on a “reimagined” event for 2021, reports gamesindustry.biz.
Though the gaming event will run for a few days, partners can host separate media gatherings and fan-targeted events at other venues in the area.
In an earlier statement, ESA said: “After careful consultation with our member companies regarding the health and safety of everyone in our industry — our fans, our employees, our exhibitors, and our longtime E3 partners — we have made the difficult decision to cancel E3 2020, scheduled for June 9-11 in Los Angeles”.
Other major gaming, as well as tech events, including SXSW, the Game Developers’ Conference, Facebook’s F8, Nvidia’s GPU Technology Conference, Google I/O 2020, have been canceled this year amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
