Not-E3 2022 Schedule and Hopes

It’s that time of year again… sort of. E3 2022 was cancelled, but companies have once again picked early June to hold their showcases as usual. So another Not-E3 is upon us, and here’s what the schedule looks like!

Some of the usual showcase are missing from this year’s current lineup, most notably Nintendo, Sony, Ubisoft, and EA. Ubisoft and EA are confirmed not to have showcases planned for this period of time, but the other two are unknown. A lot of places are counting Sony’s State of Play last week as the kick-off of “E3” season, but even though it had some exciting announcements, it wasn’t on the level of an E3 show so I didn’t include it. Here’s hoping Nintendo announces a Nintendo Direct soon!

Not-E3 2022 Hopes

With the schedule more or less set, there are a few games I’d love to see.

First off, Bayonetta 3. It’s supposed to come out this year, so getting a Nintendo Direct with a release date would be fantastic. Another trailer might also clear up some of the questions the previous trailer left us with.

Next, since we only got the tiniest update on the next Yakuza game at their stage show in April, I’d love to see an official reveal of Yakuza 8 or something else from RGG Studio (*cough* Kenzan and Ishin localizations *cough*). Sega is confirmed to be at Summer Games Fest, so here’s hoping.

Capcom is also included in the Summer Games Fest list, so between that and the potential for a Nintendo Direct, I have my fingers crossed for Ace Attorney news, be it Ace Attorney 7 or something else (we never did find out the meaning of that strange Apollo Justice trademark). Update: Capcom has now announced its own showcase, although it says it’ll be about previously announced titles. Here’s hoping, nevertheless…

And I might as well include last year’s pipe dreams, one of which (Crossbell localization) became reality in the meantime.

What are you hoping to see from this year’s not-technically-E3 showcases? Do you think we’ll get a Nintendo Direct announcement soon?
