The Electronic Entertainment Expo, also known as E3, is among the most popular trade events for the video game industry. The event allows game developers, publishers, and manufacturers to showcase their titles and products that go on sale in the upcoming year. The event usually serves as a centre point for the summer, and you will be able to catch the entire event online from the comfort of your home.
Due to the COVID-19 concerns, the ESA had to be cancelled for this year. And while a physical convention won’t be taking place, video game companies have planned live streams and other online alternatives to get across their huge announcements.
Below you'll find the dates and times for every summer game event: the press conferences and other live streams that have replaced E3. Past that, we've laid out what games and announcements we might see during some of the biggest showcases of the summer.
