All the Online Summer Gaming Events Being Held Instead of E3

Due to the global pandemic, there will be no E3 this year. Fortunately, a number of companies have decided to fill this gap by announcing their own online gaming events.

Xbox 20/20 (starting on May 7 and continuing once a month through the end of the year) — a series of Microsoft conferences on Inside Xbox. It will be held every month and cover such topics as hardware and software for the next Xbox and next generation games announcements.

Summer Game Fest (May–August 2020) — Geoff Keighley is now responsible not only for Gamescom Live and TGA, but also for this festival. A large number of publishers, including Sony, Microsoft, 2K, Bandai Namco, Bethesda and others will announce and share details about their new games.

Summer of Gaming and Future Games Show (June 2020) — similar events from IGN and GamesRadar, which will provide exclusive details and announcements for new games.

EA Play Live (June 11 at 4 p.m. PST) — an online presentation from Electronic Arts, which of course will announce FIFA 2021.

Night City Wire (June 11) — broadcast from CD Projekt Red, where developers will share news about Cyberpunk 2077.

As a result, we will not get one festival that lasts three-to-four days. Instead, new announcements and details of new games will be delivered every week. It seems to be easier for us, for publishers and developers; most likely, such a presentation format will become constant.
