"We are reimagining E3 in a variety of ways, and part of that is engaging with indie developers by offering opportunities to help highlight them," ESA s CEO Stanley Pierre-Louis said
The ESA has announced that it has partnered with the International Game Developers Association (IGDA) in order to “elevate indie developers and provide a new opportunity for all IGDA members to showcase their work” at this year’s E3.
Through the partnership, the IGDA will offer its member special packages and opportunities to be included in E3 2021, with the intention of expanding these opportunities into future years.
“The IGDA is thrilled to partner with the ESA to uplift indies during this year’s E3 and beyond,” said Renee Gittins, Executive Director of the IGDA. “Indies provide heartfelt stories and groundbreaking creativity that lead progress of our industry. It is an honor to help indies onto this grand stage for the first time so they can share their efforts and inspiration worldwide.”

Not long to go now
There’s not long to wait for E3 2021, which will be taking place next month from June 12 -15. All sorts of announcements have already been made leading up to the event, including information on the show’s hosts and partners. The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has now announced a partnership with the International Games Developers Association (IGDA) to “highlight” indie developers at E3 2021. The rationale for the partnership is to “elevate indie developers and provide a new opportunity for all IGDA members to showcase their work at E3 2021 and beyond.”
E3 2021 Is Getting An Online Portal And App
In addition to the livestream, viewers can access more information through ESA s new online hubs.
E3 2021 will be held online, a different setup from the large-scale in-person gathering we re used to. Alongside the four-day broadcast, the event will also receive an online portal and app that will lay the foundation for an interactive E3, according to ESA president and CEO Stanley Pierre-Louis.
E3 2021 s online portal and app will open to the public the same day the event kicks off on June 12. The digital showcase will last until June 15.
