The Summer Without E3 Digital Event Tracker
Now that E3, GDC, Toyko Game Show, and Gamescom have been canceled publishers and developers are scrambling to find the right ways to make noise in the industry. While some have turned to the creator of The Game Awards’ new digital summer event, Summer Game Fest. Others have begun to just post news on Twitter (looking at you, Nintendo). The end result has been a confusing mess on when and where the news will be. While we here at lordsofgaming.net won’t be able to streamline the news from E3 and TGS this summer, we wanted to create one place where our readers could turn to track everything that was supposed to be at events. Welcome to our Digital E3 Event Tracker.
We will update this list each week with all the latest events.
