E3 2021 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) is knocking at the doors, and this year's event schedule promises to deliver a unique experience for the fans.

After last year's event was called off due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Electronic Entertainment Expo is returning this year to be rebranded in the form of an all-virtual “Electronic Entertainment Experience.” However, the exciting list of developers, content creators, publishers, and companies, along with tons of news featuring video games, will stay the same.

This year's E3 event won't be in-person but, for the first time, will be in online mode and thus has many possibilities to be the biggest online event ever on the planet. So instead of crowding up the LA Convention Center, fans will be able to enjoy E3 2021 straight from their homes, which is scheduled to be held from June 12 to June 15.

So far, a lot of details about the happenings of E3 2021 are yet to be revealed from the organizer's end, but a few publishers have already opened up about their plans and activities. It is also expected that a few popular games will reveal new gameplays or trailers at the event.
