Like many other live events scheduled to take place this year, E3 2020 has been canceled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This marks the first time in the expo's 20-plus-year history that a physical event will not take place in June, but there will still be plenty of gaming news and announcements to look forward to over the next few months. In fact, with companies spreading their announcements out over a longer stretch of time, you won't have to race to catch everything in a week's time and can

We got a brief taste of the third-party Xbox Series X lineup during the First Look stream, but we'll have to wait until July for the heavy-hitters of the first-party regime. This morning, Microsoft delivered a heaping helping of First Look footage of several upcoming third-party Xbox Series X titles. However, the presentation was bereft of first-party Xbox titles, and as such we didn't get to see any of the upcoming games like Halo Infinite or anything else Microsoft has up its sleeve at the moment. There's good news, though.

To date, Microsoft has released just one trailer for Halo Infinite (apart from the SlipSpace Engine trailer), so fans are understandably eager to see and learn more about the next-gen Halo title. Given the studio's relative silence on the project, some are wondering how the game is progressing.Xbox executive Aaron Greenberg said on Twitter that he has weekly check-ins with the studio, 343 Industries. He asked fans for their patience, especially now during the COVID-19 crisis as 343--and Microsoft's other teams--are now working from home (and with goats, in at

Nintendo will be skipping a Direct for this year's would-be E3, but we could still see a news-packed event later this summer. Looks like Nintendo is going to be skipping out on its E3 2020 Direct presentation. VentureBeat reports that Nintendo has been telling developer partners that it will not be holding one of its hotly-anticipated Nintendo Directs in June, as it has every year prior since seven years ago in 2013. It appears that complications have arisen from working remotely, an important measure workers in Japan have taken to

The rumored online experience which would take the place of E3 2020 is no more. ESA has officially shut down all possibilities of the event appearing this year.

Unfortunately, that rumor came to an end today as the ESA officially ruled out the possibility of an online
