The world's biggest gaming event, E3, has been cancelled over fears surrounding the spread of coronavirus.

BBC News reports the event, due to take place 9-11 June in Los Angeles, had been highly anticipated, ahead of PlayStation and Xbox console launches later this year.

Organisers said it had been cancelled "after careful consultation" over "the health and safety of everyone in our industry".

And they were "exploring options" for an "online experience" in June.
