Join Us for E3 2021 (and E3 Bingo!)

It is hard to believe but after nearly 2 years, E3 is back (sort of) and it’s finally starting to feel like announcement season. While the shadow of covid-19 looms over everything still, nature is slowly starting to heal. Despite the fact that the show is going 100% digital this year and there won’t be any show floor to speak of, the gaming world is bracing itself for a wave of presentations and announcements from June 10 - 15th.

4Player will not be attending E3 in any official capacity this year (because let’s be honest, what does that even mean?) but we will be providing our own commentary as usual. Nick will be hosting streams throughout the event to provide commentary for most of the E3 presentations along with various other 4Player staff. So with that in mind, here is the E3 content you can expect from us in the coming days/weeks:

You can tune in live and join us for live podcasts, reactions, and commentary throughout the event at Twitch.tv/FourPlayerPodcast! Keep in mind these plans are subject to change so keep an eye on our Twitter & Discord feeds.

E3 Bingo

Lastly, in the interest of fun (read: making the best of what could be a shit-show), we will be playing E3 bingo duing all podcasts/presentations using a card that was created with feedback and ideas straight from the community! Press conferences during normal E3 years are always toss-ups and we fully expect this year is probably going to be even “worse” because of the format shift. So with that said, BEHOLD! The 4Player E3 2021 Bingo card!

There are no prizes involved but it will be fun to see how well our community has pegged the show and the reactions from the staff and the gaming community at large. We hope you will join us in the days that follow. It's been a rough year and even though this particular E3 holds perhaps the most potential for disappointment, it also holds the most potential for surprises! But don't be fooled, not all of us are tempering our expectations... Our very own Chris Davis has boarded the Hype train at his own peril.
