According to information posted over on EGMNOW, the City of Los Angeles has decided to not hold E3 2021 as an in-person event in response to the continued COVID-19 pandemic. EGMNOW received word that the event will be seeing a transformation from its traditional in-person event, though specific details on how the 2021 event will be delivered remains to be seen at this time.
If you were holding out hope that E3 2021 might proceed as an in-person show, it appears there’s no longer any chance of that. According to the City of Los Angeles Department of Convention and Tourism Development, E3 won’t have its traditional physical presence this year.
That news comes courtesy of the agenda [PDF link] for an upcoming department meeting, as discovered by ResetEra user Rösti over the weekend. One slide on the agenda runs down several planned conventions, among them E3 2021. An update includes the note “cancelled live event in 2021.”
San Diego Comic-Con announced yesterday that the July 2021 event would be conducted virtually via Comic-Con@Home 2021 with a smaller in-person event scheduled (hopefully) for sometime in November.
