The Electronic Entertainment Expo, a massive video game conference scheduled to take over the Los Angeles Convention Centre in June, is being cancelled due to coronavirus concerns.

The ESA, which organises the show commonly known as E3, wrote in a private memo to partners on Tuesday that it is "exploring options for an online E3 event this summer”.
