"The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact in-person gatherings, making the prospect of a very large and famously packed event unattractive."
"In addition to pandemic concerns, video game publishers have increasingly withdrawn from E3 in favor of hosting their own online events like Nintendo’s Direct showcases, EA Play Live, and Sony’s State of Play."
"E3 will return in 2023 with a reinvigorated showcase that celebrates new and exciting video games and industry innovations"
E3 was only the platform and it's if there's no E3 publishers will just announce trailers using other shows or without any show and the games will still be coming.
