Konami has confirmed that it’s pulling out of E3 2021, but says it does have projects in development.
Konami, the publisher behind gaming franchises like Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid, has announced that it will not be attending E3 2021. This may come as something of a surprise, given Konami was among the publishers listed as early commitments to attend the show back when it was confirmed in March 2021. However, in a tweet from its official account, Konami explains that “due to timing we will not be ready to present at E3 this year.” That’s not to say, though, that Konami doesn’t have things in the pipeline. The publisher’s statement goes on to say that it’s “in deep development on a number of key projects” and fans should expect updates on these “in the coming months”. Konami also expresses “respect for the ESA” in its statement and a promise of continued support.
