I’m still not entirely sure how I’ll cover the digital events that have risen up to fill the void left by E3 2020’s cancellation, but now that we’re getting closer, this is what the schedule currently looks like.

Nintendo hasn’t announced anything, so the rumors of no Nintendo Direct might be true. Square Enix will be announcing games meant for E3 in July and August. I’ll update this schedule as more dates come out.
IGN’s Summer of Gaming event runs from June 10 – June 25, so I’ll cover any interesting new reveals from that separately.
There’s also a VR showcase on June 16, but since I don’t play any VR games, I most likely won’t include that in my Not-E3 coverage.
As for the newly-added MonsterVine showcase, I’m involved with that one!
This year’s “E3” schedule looks pretty different from past ones, but I’ll do my best to cover these events like I normally would. Are you looking forward to this summer’s digital events? Should I stop referring to them collectively as Not-E3 2020? Do you want me to cover the VR day after all? Share your thoughts in the comments!
FakE-3 looks kinda miserable.
Uh, that Indie Live Expo apparently happened? And you’ve said nothing? So… wasn’t important, right?
Once some of the others announce their dates, that should fill it out a bit, although the lack of Nintendo will still cause a gap.
They showed a handful of indie games, but I decided to wait.
Real E3 would let you break your standard posting schedule!
This one should eventually. June 13 in particularly looks almost like a regular E3 day.
