E3 2020 Won't Get a Digital Replacement Event

E3 2020 will not get a digital-only replacement show, according to the show's organisers. Despite saying it would explore options for a digital showcase after canceling the traditional show, the ESA has now confirmed it will be skipping E3 2020 entirely: "Given the disruption brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, we will not be presenting an online E3 2020 event in June," reads a statement provided to IGN. "Instead, we will be working with exhibitors to promote and showcase individual company announcements, including on www.E3expo.com, in the coming months.  We look forward to bringing our industry and community together in 2021 to present a reimagined E3 that will highlight new offerings and thrill our audiences."
