E3 2021: ESA Reveals Award Winners for the Digital Only E3 This Year

Written by Brandon Hofer on June 15, 2021

News: There were some great games shown off over the last few days that we will hopefully get to play somewhat soon.

E3 2021 is just about in the books. There were some great presentations over the course of the last few days, as well as a few that didn’t quite hit the mark. During a traditional year that didn’t involve COVID, on the third day you could walk around the show floor and see which games and/or studios were nominated for awards, based on what they showed during E3 week. With COVID preventing us from having a more traditional E3 this year, everything went digital, including the awards.

The ESA recently sent out a press release congratulating those games and companies that received these awards for this year. They only mentioned two categories which is strange but regardless, here are the 2021 winners:

Overall Most Anticipated: Forza Horizon 5, Microsoft Game Studios

Best Presentation: Microsoft: Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase

Honorable Mention for Other Heavily Anticipated TItles:

Capcom: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles

Gearbox Entertainment: Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands

Indie Games: Falling Frontier

Intellivision: Asteroids

Nintendo: Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2

PC Gaming Show: Songs of Conquest

Freedom Games: Airborne Kingdom

Future Games Show: Immortality

Square Enix: Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy

Ubisoft: Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope

Xbox/Bethesda: Halo: Infinite
