E3 2022 will be an online event (again)

7 Jan 2022

The return to an in-person event has been postponed.

E3 2022 will yet again be an online event as the COVID-19 Omicron variant sweeps through the world.

“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,” the Electronic Software Association (ESA) told GamesBeat.

“We remain incredibly excited about the future of E3 and look forward to announcing more details soon.”

The ESA continued on to tell GamesBeat that it is “excited about the possibilities of an online event.”

E3 2020 was outright cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic; it returned for an online only event in 2021.

We’ll have more on E3 2022 as news is made available.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
