E3 2022 would have been the 27th E3 press conference, during which hardware manufacturers, software developers, and publishers from the video game industry would have presented new and upcoming products. The physical and all of the planned digital events, organized by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), were cancelled due to ongoing concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic, marking the second time since the launch of E3 in 1995 that an event was not held. In lieu of that, several publishers opted to use more traditional marketing throughout the year.
Format and changes[edit]
In the days prior to the event, major hardware and software vendors were to host press conferences at nearby venues, where they would introduce new hardware and games that would be on display at the exhibitor's hall during the actual event. Within the event period, attendees would have been able to view these products at the exhibitor's hall, often including playable game demos, attended special presentations offered by companies, and in some cases, had private meetings with companies on their products. The E3 period is often used by journalists from video game publications as well as social media influencers to provide initial comments on these new games. This also enables retailers to plan out what products to purchase for the remainder of the year, particularly for critical Christmas and holiday sales periods.
This was due to continue to offer public passes to the event.
ESA planned to return to an in-person event by 2022.[1]
Cancellation due to the COVID-19 pandemic[edit]
By January 2022, ESA scrapped the plans for a physical event.[2] At the end of March 2022, ESA cancelled E3 2022 altogether, including the online event. Disruption caused by the pandemic made it difficult to assemble both the physical and online events.[3]
