E3 2022 has been cancelled. jE3, which takes place in June every year, has been canceled for the second time in the last 3 years due to the coronavirus epidemic. The Entertainment Software Association, which organizes E3, made the following statement on the subject:
“It will be back at E3 2023, remastered, to celebrate new game announcements.”
E3 2022 was canceled, and in 2021 it took place digitally.
The E3 gaming expo, like other digital expos around the world, has been affected by the pandemic.

While E3 2022 was expected to take place online, the news of the cancellation came.
