Nintendo will attend E3 2020, E3 event organiser the Electronic Software Association (ESA) has confirmed.
The announcement was made last night in a statement detailing plans for this year’s show, released following a bruising day for the ESA in general.
Yesterday afternoon, a draft of the event’s website popped up online early – and an incomplete list of publisher attendees which omitted Nintendo sparked gossip the platform holder would be the latest to drop out, following Sony ditching the show in PlayStation 5’s launch year.
Shortly after, Game Awards host and E3 live stage producer Geoff Keighley said he would not attend this year’s event in a statement posted to Twitter. Responding to questions about his decision to quit, Keighley said he’d decided not to attend based on a “combination” of reasons. “I don’t really feel comfortable participating given what I know about the show as of today,” he added.
