E3 2021 live event officially cancelled by LA City
Taking a new route.
Following reports released a few weeks ago that E3 2021 would be taking the digital route, there’s now official confirmation that a live event has zero chance of happening at all. This news comes following a document, obtained by the Video Games Chronicle, surfacing from Los Angeles City that confirms that the event’s physical plans have been canceled.
The cancellation of E3 2021 comes on the heels of the similarly bypassed E3 2020 which had to shudder its operations unexpectedly a few months out from the event due to the, at the time, new outbreak of COVID-19 and subsequent travel restrictions. That cancellation came a few weeks after companies had announced their intentions to go, Nintendo included. Moving into this year, the expectations for a live event were already minimal if any, seeing that the pandemic has not yet subsided.
