It’s official – E3 2022 is cancelled. Back at the start of this year, the ESA officially confirmed the cancellation of E3 2022 being a physical event and was planning to do a digital-only event similar to last year. Today, it looks like that’s not even happening as well.

The Entertainment Software Association confirmed that E3 in 2022 will be a digital-only event and says the main reason for the decision is “due to the ongoing health risks surrounding COVID-19”. This marks the second year in a row that the E3 has skipped an in-person event due to the ongoing pandemic.
