Vi vidste vist allesammen godt at den her lurede ude i horisonten, og nu er det altså blevet endeligt bekræftet. Via en meddelelse udleveret til IGN har organisationen ESA endelig bekræftet, at E3 2022 er fuldstændig aflyst, som betyder at der heller ej vil være en digital ækvivalent i juni måned.
"We will devote all our energy and resources to delivering a revitalized physical and digital E3 experience next summer. Whether enjoyed from the show floor or your favorite devices, the 2023 showcase will bring the community, media, and industry back together in an all-new format and interactive experience. We look forward to presenting E3 to fans around the world live from Los Angeles in 2023."
Det skal dog siges, at ESA har kæmpet med E3-formatet også i årene op til COVID-19, så det kan også være derfor. Desuden har Geoff Keighley hurtigt slået fast via Twitter, at hans Summer Game Fest vil indtage E3's og finde sted i juni:
"Excited to share that @SummerGameFest will return this June with a slate of events. We'll be producing another Kickoff Live show with announcements, news and first looks.
Much more to share in the coming weeks, along with some very cool new elements for '22."
