After two decades being gaming’s biggest event of the year, E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) is officially dead.
RIP E3. After two decades of serving as gaming’s biggest in-person event for developers, vendors, and gamers to come together to celebrate one of the world’s biggest sources of entertainment, the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) is officially dead for good.
This has been a long time coming. After the conference was able to come back for a digital-only experience in 2021, the 2022 and 2023 conference was canceled, so the writing was already on the wall for the death of E3. Now, it’s official. As reported by The , Stanley Pierre-Louis, president and CEO of the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), said in a statement that the conference is not coming back.
“We know the entire industry, players and creators alike have a lot of passion for E3. We share that passion. We know it’s difficult to say goodbye to such a beloved event, but it’s the right thing to do given the new opportunities our industry has to reach fans and partners.
