Following a smattering of tweets and reports on Tuesday evening, the Electronic Software Association (ESA) officially confirmed on Wednesday that E3 2020 has been canceled due to concerns surrounding the coronavirus outbreak. As it became clear that the spread of COVID-19 was not expected to stop any time soon, many expected that it was only a matter of time before the ESA would have to cancel the show, which attracted over 60,000 people last year.
“After careful consultation with our member companies regarding the health and safety of everyone in our industry—our fans, our employees, our exhibitors and our longtime E3 partners—we have made the difficult decision to cancel E3 2020, scheduled for June 9-11 in Los Angeles,” the ESA said in a statement.
