Update: Following the comments from Ubisoft, E3 2023 organisers Reed Pop have released the following statement: «E3 is full speed ahead and we are pleased with the progress and engagement from the community. As we have confirmed exhibitors we are eager to share more as details get cemented and participants ready their own detailed plans. In other parts of the Reed Pop gaming portfolio we rarely release participants until close to the event but now will adjust our style to the E3 way as we can.»
The statement continues: «We will be sending our first round of media and content creator registration approvals today and will have news to share in the next few weeks on some of the exciting new additions to the Remastered E3 2023.»

Events organiser ReedPop has taken commanding control of this year’s convention, although there is strong speculation that all three platform holders will be giving the event a swing. To its credit, the PAX organisers have said that it’s received “a tremendous amount of interest [from many of] the biggest companies in the industry” – but it’s hardly going to say no one’s planning to go, is it?
