E3, for years, had been a staple event for the video game industry. When it started, this was the main event that game developers and publishers would attend. Likewise, journalists would be able to get a look at what’s to come to share with their readers worldwide. However, it’s only grown bigger and better, with E3 becoming a live event for viewers. We would get massive presentation shows from some of the biggest names in the video game industry. During this, new games would be unveiled to even the latest console getting their first grand reveal.

However, over the past several years, we saw E3 diminish. More industry giants were withdrawing from the event and presenting their own streams. This likely cut down the costs of holding a conference at E3, and then the pandemic happened. 2020 saw the cancellation of several events and expos, including E3. For years now, E3 has attempted to get back on track but has continued to find their show canceled. Today, thanks to a report from the VGC, we’re finding out that next year will also not see an E3 expo. 

It looks like the ESA has decided to call off E3 for 2024, with ReedPop also parting ways from the event. We don’t know what the future might hold for E3, but it looks like the ESA plans to bring out a new form of E3 in 2025. According to the report, it looks like the ESA president, Stanley Pierre-Louis, has plans to explore new ways to evolve and serve the video game industry. That means looking at every aspect of E3, including its format and location. So, if E3 does make a return in 2025, it might be at a completely different venue, or it might become a digital-only event.

There is no clear indication right now of what E3 will become, but that doesn’t mean the summers are
