E3 2022 will once again be held only online after the increase in infections

The great video game event has announced that this year it will be held again without face-to-face events due to the increase in infections.

A year later we find ourselves in the same situation again and the organizers of E3 warn that The entire fair will be held by streaming, that there will be no face-to-face events. Needless to clarify the reason, the numbers of infections that are experienced today speak for themselves.

If CES 2022 has suffered a multitude of absences, at E3 they don’t want surprises or last minute scares And, despite being held in June, they have already announced that for the third consecutive year there will be no face-to-face events.

The organizers’ statement was made known through VentureBeat and from the first moment they talk about the omicron variant as the main culprit.

“Due to the ongoing health risks surrounding Covid-19 and its potential impact on the safety of exhibitors and attendees, E3 will not take place in person in 2022”, They report after assessing the situation.

Organizing a face-to-face event requires a large investment and it seems that they have not wanted to take risks. A situation that surely the video game companies and the thousands of journalists who approach each year will be grateful to this great fair of vital importance for the sector.

After this movement in a great summer event, now it remains to be seen what happens with the MWC 2022 that will be held between February 28 and March 3 in Barcelona. If they decide to wait and see how the situation progresses or they are taking some more action in this regard.

It is clear that 2022 continues with what happened last year for now in terms of events and presentations. Hybrid and streaming formats continue to prevail in the face of the complicated context.
