<p>With this year’s traditional E3 event <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/03/e3_2020_is_officially_cancelled">being cancelled</a>, publishers are having to come up with new ways to keep fans up to date with new releases this summer. Ubisoft has <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/05/ubisoft_forward_announced_-_a_brand_new_e3-style_showcase_airing_on_12th_july">committed to a new digital showcase</a> called ‘Ubisoft Forward’, set to air at around the time E3 would have taken place, but others are forgoing events altogether, doing things at their own pace.</p>
<p>Square Enix looks to be one such example. Bloomberg tech reporter, Takashi Mochizuki, has <a class="external" href="https://twitter.com/6d6f636869/status/1260531256812466176">reported</a> that the publisher won’t be holding any online event around E3’s timing this year as preparing assets for such a show ‘has become difficult’ thanks to the global pandemic. Instead, ‘it will announce new titles on [an] individual basis’.</p>
<p>Back in March, in response to E3 2020’s cancellation, Square Enix had originally stated that it was “<a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/03/square_enix_exploring_other_options_to_share_its_games_now_that_e3_2020_has_been_axed">exploring other options</a>” to share games with its fans, with many assuming this to mean that a Nintendo Direct-style presentation would be announced at a later date. It’s a shame that we’ll be missing out on the traditional E3 experience this year, but at least we can still expect to receive new game announcements as and when they’re ready.</p>
