Konami announced it will no longer be attending E3 2021 in June due to timing. The company did say they are developing a number of projects and will provide updates in the "coming months."

"While we are not participating this year, we have great respect for the ESA and know that 2021 will be a great success. We will continue to support the ESA and wish the best to all participants at this year’s show."

Companies confirmed to attend E3 2021 include Capcom, Koch Media, Nintendo, Microsoft, Take-Two Interactive, Ubisoft, Square Enix, and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

E3 2021 will be a digital-only event and will run from June 12 to 15.

Then it would be a match made in heaven since E3 hasn’t been relevant since the Wii era.

They should sell off Metal Gear solid, Castlevania, Contra, and Silent Hill to Sony or Microsoft (or Nintendo, I'd be down for that, too)

Sad to see the current state of Konami. Legendary IP's they have no interest in showing anymore.
