Los Angeles' annual video game convention, E3, has scrapped reported plans of offering an online-only version of the event this year
The Electronic Entertainment Expo , Los Angeles' annual video game convention that was originally scheduled to take place June 9-11, has scrapped reported plans of offering an online-only version of the event this year.
Following the initial cancellation, reports of the event shifting to an online-only version began to circulate, similar to the Game Developers Conference's approach, which hosted streaming versions of its scheduled talks through its website. With plans for a digital version of E3 now officially scrapped, 2020 will be the first year without the event since its inception in 1995.
E3, one of the world's largest video game conventions, is held annually at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The event drew more than 66,000 attendees in 2019 and over 200 exhibitors. E3 first debuted in 1995 as an event exclusive to media and industry members. In 2017, the convention opened its doors to the general public for the first time.
E3 is not the only major gaming event on the calendar in 2020 to be canceled. San Francisco's Game Developers Conference also postponed its event, originally slated for March 16-20.
