Update: Post updated with the full announcement.

Original: It’s been announced that E3 2021 is set to return following a year-long absence.

Following the cancellation of E3 last year in light of the coronavirus pandemic, The Game Awards creator Geoff Keighly stepped forward and held Summer Game Fest as one way of replacing the show. It’s now set to return for a second year.
