E3 2022 canceled entirely
After last year's lukewarm response to the digital event, this year there won't be even that...
ESA has announced that one of the most important gaming events, E3 2022, which was supposed to take place in June, is completely cancelled. There won't even be a digital event like last year. Instead, the organizer will prefer to “focus on the grand return in 2023”.
The decision, although many suspected it was in the works, was met with mixed feelings. Last year's event, which was exclusively digital due to covid, wasn't bad, but something as experiential as the games is very difficult to follow via social networks. That's not it... Mice, controllers, chairs, screens... you need to feel it live. When the organizers announced in January that the live event would not take place again for the same reasons, the exhibitors started preparing for a digital one, and with the new decision, at least three months of work and, of course, a lot of money went to waste.
Will the organizers make a big comeback? Will exhibitors prefer to focus on other events? We'll see at the end of the year...
Just got an email... It's official, E3 digital is officially canceled for 2022. Lots of mixed feelings about this...
