The ESA announced that this year's E3 games showcase will once again forgo a physical event amid new and prominent COVID-19 concerns.

E3 2021 confirmed the participation of a number of further large publishers and developers taking part in its upcoming all-digital event.

Despite rumors that E3 2021 could have some sort of on-demand paid experience, the ESA has stepped in to claim that the contents of the digital showcase will be free to watch.

The ESA is reportedly aiming for a mid-june return of E3 in digital form, if it can gather publisher support leading up to the event.

The release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate set a new NPD record for the highest launch-month sales in dollars of any platform-exclusive video game in the company's recorded history.

The show will go on, even as Sony bows out. The Entertainment Software Association has issued a statement confirming a full E3 2019 docket that won't include PlayStation.

15,000 members of the public will make the show even more hectic and chaotic that it was previously.

The number is up 5% from 2015, according to the Entertainment Software Association annual report.

Early-bird passes cost $149, while general admission will run attendees $249.

E3 attendees no longer have to be tied to the gaming industry to access the expo.
