Full Statement
Despite the convention being cancelled, the ESA states they are currently organizing an "online experience to showcase industry announcements and news in June 2020."
So far, Microsoft and Ubisoft have confirmed their plans to hold digital events in place of traditional E3 conferences.
EDIT: Talking with Polygon, Nintendo says that they support the ESA's decision to cancel the convention but did not elaborate on their plans going foward.
Kotaku's Jason Schreier claims that Warner Bros. was planning on holding their very first E3 press conference this year.
The conference would have showcased new Batman and Harry Potter games as well as Rocksteady's new project.
It is currently unknown what will happen regarding those announcements now that the convention is cancelled.
