Despite fears of COVID-19 (aka Coronavirus), the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) stated the:

everyone is watching the situation very closely. We will continue to be vigilant as our first priority is the health, wellness and safety of all of our exhibitors and attendees. Given what we know at this time, we are moving ahead full speed with E3 2020 planning. Exhibit and registrations ales are on track for an exciting show in June.

For now it is on track, but as we get closer to May is when we will find out if it will be delayed or canceled. E3 2020 will be held on June 9, 2020, through June 11, 2020 which GL will cover all the news as always.
 
Too bad No Sony though.
 
Hopefully, E3 will still have enough game companies which show game demos and trailers, and not cancel going to E3 because the Coronavirus outbreak gotten worst.
 
Man, I really wanted to go to this event. Well, we shall see how it goes in May
 
Read from Dualshockers, E3's creative director iam8bit pulled out:

“It’s with mixed emotions that @iam8bit has decided to resign as Creative Directors of what was to be an evolutionary #E32020 floor experience. We’ve produced hundreds of gaming + community events and it was a dream to be involved with E3. We wish the organizers the best of luck.”

It was previously revealed that this E3 was already going to be a different beast compared to previous E3’s as it is geared towards content creators and trendsetters, as well as featuring experience hubs. However, the most interesting take away from iam8bit’s statement is the “mixed emotions” part. This strikes me as implying there are some issues behind the scenes separate from the coronavirus. With so many conferences and companies sitting out of events due to the outbreak, you would imagine they would just come out and say it.

E3 2020 has found itself in quite the predicament in recent months. Worry began setting in with the previously mentioned announcement of the redesign of the show back in September. In the months to follow, E3’s problems would continue as Sony announced that the company would be skipping this year. A month later, Geoff Keighly revealed he too would be sitting out of producing or participating in the event. If E3 2020 wasn’t in dire straights before, I would say losing its creative directors would be the tipping point.
