E3

For years, June has been filled with major game and hardware announcements from Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo, along with major publishers like Ubisoft, Activision Blizzard, EA, and more. Starting in 2020, though, E3 has been very different. In 2021 the event was entirely virtual, and in 2022 it was canceled altogether. Despite plans to return to an in-person event in 2023, the show’s future remains uncertain.
