Just got an email… It's official, E3 digital is official cancelled for 2022. Lots of mixed feelings about this…

— Will Powers (@WillJPowers) March 31, 2022

E3, the video game trade show and marketing trade show was initially set to take place in person in 2022 itself. However, E3 was again shifted to a specifically online event from an in person one. Reportedly, the switch was made keeping in mind the state of the pandemic at that point. However, present news indicates that the digital event has been entirely canceled.

Recently, there has been increasing doubts about the fate of the video game trade show. Clearly, the impact of the pandemic has continued to prevail over in-person events. Consequently, making the idea of potentially big and largely packed gatherings rather unattractive. Earlier in March, numerous professionals in the video game industry reportedly tested positive for Covid-19 post attending the Game Developers Conference held in San Francisco.

Cancellation Reasons other than the Covid-19 pandemic:

Along with concerns for the pandemic, video game publishers have increasingly withdrawn from E3. Their aim was to host their own online events such as Sony’s State of Play, EA Play Live and Nintendo’s Direct showcases.

Evidently, the breaking of the news stating the present suspension of this year’s E3 worked in favour of such publishers. For example, consummate video game hype man Geoff Keighley made best of the situation. With ease, he stepped in to make the announcement about his Summer Game Fest. He stated that the event is confirmed for the month of June in 2022.

The ESA stated that E3 would make a comeback in 2023, that too with a “reinvigorated showcase.” It would celebrate new and upcoming video games, along with “industry innovation.” This was despite a tweet from Axios’ Stephen Totilo stating that ESA did not have have an E3 “at all bodes ill” for the continued wellbeing of the trade show. 2023’s E3 would expectantly be an event integrating both in-person and online modes.
