E3 has always been an exciting time for video game fans as the biggest names in the industry come together to give everyone a glimpse of the future. Given the pandemic, E3 2020 was canceled, and many video game fans were incredibly disappointed to see one of their favorite events of the year canceled.
One of the biggest stories coming out of E3 2019 was the absence of Sony from the annual event. Many believe that Sony has chosen to add more weight to its own events by making it the primary location for announcements and updates.
State of Play, as well as the PSX, serve as the primary event for Sony to announce future projects and updates. Sony was also confirmed to not appear at E3 2020 before it was canceled. This year, it looks like the company will follow suit.
