![]() So, we’ll keep updating you on here as they choose to reveal so you stay in the loop, cool? /GVylq6MudN- E3 June 3, 2021 But announcing days/times is 100% the prerogative of the MANY partners participating in this year’s show. Real talk: everyone would love a complete schedule w/ every time listed on it. This year, there’s no sitting at home and pining away that you can’t be part of the vibe at E3’s customary on-site home at the Los Angeles Convention Center. In some ways, fan access may be greater this year than ever before, since everyone can “attend” just by logging in online. The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has just revealed its preview schedule for this year’s E3, and even though it’s all online, seeing the big studios and hardware makers ( minus Sony) all lined up to take their turn again just feels right. It’s in the air: players are ready for another Keanu Reeves walk-on moment for another seismic fan-quake on the order of Square Enix’s internet-melting Final Fantasy VII Remake announcement. Unlike last year, the hype is palpable and present - not just for a single game or the launch of a single system but for hidden possibilities and surprises across the board. Though it’s sticking to a remote digital format after taking 2020 off, E3 is finally back, and the T-minus 7-day countdown to next week’s June 12 kickoff marks a welcome return of the kind of early-summer buzz that typically surrounds the event’s anything-could-happen feel. And E3, long the tentpole video game moment of the year for the kind of outsized studio announcements that can adrenalize fans for months on end, was canceled last year outright. They never exactly went away, surging into one of the few burgeoning bright spots in all of entertainment through a strange, pandemic-muted 2020.īut even as all things gaming-related continued to boost sales higher and higher through the past year, it all came with a more subdued level of hype with canceled or dramatically scaled-back fan events. With E3 just around the corner, it feels like video games are popping off again in a big way. We'll even throw in a good old-fashioned board game every now and then! Check in each Friday for news (and occasionally even views) on everything from sprawling RPGs to Metroidvania platformers to the latest in VR and free-to-play. Welcome to The Week in Gaming, the place where we pause each week to take a look at the video game news beats both big and small that you might be missing - while also taking a peek around the corner at what's ahead.
