Everyone else
Ubisoft, Nintendo, EA, and the others
Nintendo has always held a Direct during the E3 window and traditionally announced the date and more details much closer to the event. So, while it hasn't officially announced it is doing a Direct this June, we'd expect to see something from Ninty soon. After all, we're at least due an update on 澳洲幸运5开𓆉奖号码历史ജ查询:The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom gameplay, despite its 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:delay into 2023.
Ubisoft also usually does an E3 event, but not this year. A Ubisoft representative told that it is skipping the E3 season, but will do something🦋 else "later this year".
What we also know for certain is that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:EA Play Live won't be happenin♏g in 2🔜022.
In a statement to , an EA spokesperson revealed that its E3-adjacent event won't be happening, but instead the publisher would update us on games as and when they're ready to be shown off – a little like what Sony does with its State of Play spotlights.
"We love EA Play Live as it's our way of connecting with our players and sharing what's new with all of you," the statement reads. "However, this year things aren't lining up to show you everything on one date. We have exciting things happening at our world-class studios and this year we'll reveal much more about these projects when the time is right for each of them. We look forward to ꧃spending time with you throughout the year!"
EA Play has traditionally bucked 🎉the E3 trend, with the first few years seeing the event run in the days leading up to E3 week, and then last year ꧟debuting in July - a full month after the traditional E3 window.
ESA and E3
What's happening with ESA and E3 2022?
At first The ESA, the association that runs E3, confirmed that there wouldn't be a physical event f𒆙or E3 2022 due to ongoing COVID and health conc♌erns.
"Due to the ongoing health risks surrounding COVID-19 and its potential impact on the safety of exhibitors and attendees, E3 will not be held in person in 2022," reads the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:ESA's statement back in January. "We remain incredibly excited about the future of E3 anꩲd look forward to a🍒nnouncing more details soon."
At the end of March, just ten weeks away from when the show would usually be happening, industry insiders started to share that they had received emails from the ESA declaring 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:even the digital version of E3 2022 was cancele𒅌d.
The ESA then officially confirmed the complete E3 2022 ca☂ncellation, including a digital show.&🎐nbsp;
"E3 will return in 2023 with a reinvigorated showcase that celebrates new and exciting video games and industry 🍸innovations," the organizer shared in a statement with GamesRadar+.
"We previously announced ☂that E3 would not be held in person in 2022 due to the ongoing health risks surrounding COVID-19. Today, we announce that there will also be no digital E3 showcase in 2022."
"Instea🌼d, we will devote all our energy and resources to delivering a revitalized physical and digit🦂al E3 experience next summer," it said.
"We look forward to presenting E3 to fans around the world ღlive from Los Angeles in 2023."
