Keighley also shared a personal update on his Twitter page to speak about the emotions he’s feeling this week. It’s the first time in 25 years that he’s not actively involved in E3.
“Change is difficult. It’s never easy to start something new. But I will never waver in my commitment to deliver fan-first events that represent our art form the biggest and most powerful entertainment medium in the world,” he said.
“Ultimately I hope these next weeks bring you joy, excitement and reverence for the power of games to connect us all. I’m hoping everyone walks away happy. Let’s unite to celebrate what games mean to us,” he added.
