9 Gaming Events to Replace E3 in June 2020

Updated June 4: This article has been updated to reflect events that have been postponed in the wake of George Floyd’s death.

The Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3, has been a major event in the gaming world for years. This annual week serves as both a celebration of video games, as well as a window into what’s next for the industry. Unfortunately, gaming fans will be deprived of this expo for the year 2020 due to the ongoing issues with Covid-19.

That doesn’t mean that there will be a drought of information on new games and tech this year, however. The loss of E3 has created an opportunity for many new gaming events to get a little attention. As such, we will be putting a spotlight on the June gaming events that you should be aware of.

INDIE Live Expo 2020, June 6

In a celebration of independent games, the INDIE Live Expo will be broadcast to viewers all over the world. This will be achieved with the help of a variety of media outlets, as well as streamers from all walks of life.

The goal is to place a spotlight on new and interesting independent games that may not get the attention they deserve otherwise. However, viewers can be sure that they will see some of the best entertainment that the future has to offer. Fans will be able to view INDIE Live Expo on YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, and Bilibili. The streaming begins June 6 at 4 a.m. PT.
