We finally have the full schedule for E3 2021. In the past, this event has been the pinnacle of the gaming industry. It is an opportunity for veteran players and newcomers to celebrate what they love about this community. E3 gives developers and publishers the chance to introduce advertise their hardware, software, and accessories to fans and investors alike.
Last year E3 was canceled due to the state of the world. E3 always comes with a slew of new surprises that shock fans (for the most part). I’m looking forward to the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase. This has to be the number one event on my radar. Gamers have been investing in the Xbox Series X|S and have been eagerly awaiting what new projects Phil Spencer and his team has up their sleeve.
Another conference that has caught my eye is the Nintendo Direct. There have been rumblings about the company dropping a new version of the Switch that might drop this holiday season. And how can you not be excited about the special presentations from WB Games, Square Enix, and Ubisoft?
From what I have seen from the schedule it seems like this year will be a solid lineup of announcements. Unfortunately, Sony will not be joining the fun this year which would have made this year even more special. In times like these, I think that it’s important for industries to stand together and celebrate what drives them every day. You can check out the full details of the event here.
