Last month, reports began to circulate that Nintendo, Xbox, and PlayStation will not have a presence at E3 2023. The absence of those three could complicate the event's success, but it seems at least one major player in the industry will be in attendance. During an earnings call today, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot confirmed that the publisher plans to be at the show this year, provided that it takes place. That doesn't sound like the most confident response, but it could give Ubisoft a big venue to showcase its games! "If E3 happens, we will be there and we will have a lot of things to show," said Guillemot. E3 was once the biggest show of the year for the video game industry, and some of the biggest titles of all-time have been revealed at past shows. However, things have started to change over the last few years. In 2019, PlayStation pulled out of the show, though Nintendo and Microsoft both attended. In 2020, the show was cancelled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. In 2021, an all-digital event was held, but 2022 had neither an in-person show nor a digital event. E3 2023 is supposed to be the first in-person E3 event since 2019, but it's understandable that some publishers might be skeptical.⚡️🍿🍿🎮🎮 #comiccon #spoilermagazine #news #losangeles #podcast #magazine #art #instagram #galaxy #film #tv #hollywood #feature #movies #fandom #graphicdesign #nyc #spoiler #comicconradio #comicbooks #ubisoft #gaming #gamer #e3 #game (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co4sfmwLzBy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Entertainment Software Association has officially cancelled E3 2020 due to concerns over the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. They're exploring options for an "online experience" to showcase industry announcements in June 2020. 

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.

Following increased and overwhelming concerns about the COVID-19 virus, we felt this was the best way to proceed during such an unprecedented global situation. We are very disappointed that we are unable to hold this event for our fans and supporters. But we know it’s the right decision based on the information we have today.

Our team will be reaching out directly to exhibitors and attendees with information about providing full refunds.

We are also exploring options with our members to coordinate an online experience to showcase industry announcements and news in June 2020. Updates will be shared on E3Expo.com.

E3 completely obliterating itself for 2020 but in all honesty I wouldn’t mind the whole event going the full Nintendo Direct/Stay of Play route anyways. Just sell me the games. I don’t need to be sold people that you can clearly see don’t care or witness awkward stage presentations while waiting for awkward applause.

At least they got Keanu Reeves in there before they died.
