E3 2021: Three big publishers join the list of participants

E3 2021: Three big publishers join the list of participants

E3 2021

Updated by Tiraxa, May 06, 2021 at 3:59:50 PM To the list are now added Gearbox Entertainment, Freedom Games, Devious Eye Entertainment, Verizon and Binge.com. And then the presences of Square Enix, Sega and Bandai Namco are once again confirmed. Recall that Konami recently announced its withdrawal. It is a major event in the video game scene: E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) brings together the entire video game industry in Los Angeles every year, whether it is fans, the press or even publishers. It is on this occasion that the latter often reveal their biggest projects. In 2019, we learned of Cyberpunk 2077's (repeatedly postponed) release date before we found out that Breath of the Wild 2 was in development. An appointment that did not take place in 2020: health crisis requires, the physical events could not be held.

But he's coming back this year! Earlier this month, E3 announced its return: the show will be held digitally from June 12 to 15. But with who ? Since April 06, the list of publishers has grown from end to end. Nintendo, Microsoft, Capcom, Konami, Ubisoft, Take Two, Warner Bros. and Koch Media were the first to indicate their participation, while Ubisoft followed shortly after as well as Square Enix. Today, we learn that Activision (new Call of Duty?), Sega (Total War: Warhammer III) and Bandai Namco (Tales of Arise, Elden Ring) will also be in the game as listed in the list of participants available on the E3 website. Since 2019, Sony has decided to organize its conference on its own.

The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) has picked up more virtual-event exhibitors: Square Enix, Sega, Bandai Namco, and Gearbox are joining the event.


E3 will take place as online this year after skipping 2020 because of the pandemic. This year, it will be held June 12 to June 15.


Previously confirmed E3 partners include Nintendo, Xbox, Capcom, Ubisoft, Take-Two Interactive, and Warner Bros. Games. Konami had planned to join but it pulled out and said it would come back next year.


Additional participants include Verizon, Xseed Games/Marvelous USA, Freedom Games, Devious Eye Entertainment, Turtle Beach, and Binge.com. E3 is organized by the Entertainment Software Association.


Stanley Pierre-Louis, the CEO of the ESA, said E3 wants to continue its legacy as the premier video game industry event as it adds new publisher, sponsors, and partners.


The ESA has decided that digital events can be done well enough now and that it’s still important enough to show up and capture the attention of game companies and fans, even if it won’t be a fantastic in-person event held live in a particular location.


Last year, the pandemic resulted in E3’s outright cancelation, so game companies spread out their announcements over the whole summer. It was a diluted mess, and resulted in GamesBeat’s Jeff Grubb taking advantage of the situation declaring his own Summer Game Mess.
