E3 has always been an important moment for Team Xbox. Given this decision, this year we'll celebrate the next generation of gaming with the @Xbox community and all who love to play via an Xbox digital event. Details on timing and more in the coming weeks https://t.co/xckMKBPf9h
官方声明全文：
在经过仔细评估对于公司成员、以及游戏产业人员的健康安全后，必须向亲爱的粉丝、员工、展馆人员以及我们E3的伙伴说，我们做了一个艰辛的决定，那就是将取消本次在洛杉矶举办的E3电玩展。
近日新冠肺炎（COVID-19）病例急遽增加，我们认为在这个严峻情势下，这是最有效去减少感染发生的方式。我们对于不能举办E3展非常失望，但我们知道这会是一个正确的决定。
我们的团队将会与所有参展者联系，并提供全额退费的办法。内部同时在研拟，试着去找出一种方式让所有参展者的新闻、最新消息能够在E3的网站上有曝光。我们十分感谢所有人将他们的创意灌输在今年的E3，期待2021年能够和粉丝一起重新颠覆这个产业，并庆祝属于我们的全球盛事。
WASHINGTON – MARCH 11, 2020 – After careful consultation with our member companies regarding the health and safety of everyone in our industry – our fans, our employees, our exhibitors and our longtime E3 partners – we have made the difficult decision to cancel E3 2020, scheduled for June 9-11 in Los Angeles.
Following increased and overwhelming concerns about the COVID-19 virus, we felt this was the best way to proceed during such an unprecedented global situation. We are very disappointed that we are unable to hold this event for our fans and supporters. But we know it’s the right decision based on the information we have today.
Our team will be reaching out directly to exhibitors and attendees with information about providing full refunds.
We are also exploring options with our members to coordinate an online experience to showcase industry announcements and news in June 2020. Updates will be shared on E3expo.com.
We thank everyone who shared their views on reimagining E3 this year. We look forward to bringing you E3 2021 as a reimagined event that brings fans, media and the industry together in a showcase that celebrates the global video game industry.
