ESA President & CEO Stanley Pierre-Louis commented on the news, "E3 2021 is set to continue its legacy as the premier video game industry event as we add new publishers, sponsors and partners.” He added, “We can’t wait to share more details about this virtual event for audiences around the globe.” More Companies Confirmed for E3 2021 Previously, the ESA confirmed that Nintendo, Xbox, Capcom, Ubisoft, Konami, Take Two Interactive, Warner Bros. Games and Koch Media gave early commitments to take part in this year's E3. So, at the very least, it appears the ESA has been able to secure major companies and gaming publishers to the convention for 2021. In 2020, the ESA cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Even before the cancellation due to the coronavirus, major parties and companies had begun pulling out of E3, including Sony PlayStation, Activision, and EA. Neither three gaming companies have yet to be announced as returning to the gaming event this year. E3 2021 is set to run from June 12-15.
