E3 was a horrible, loud, expensive nightmare - but there was doubtlessly a magic about it. Thinking about it gives me a bloody headache, but it’s a nostalgic headache - and I will forever mourn that old, mad format. It ain’t ever coming back - but this week, I think we got a glimmer of what the future could and probably should look like.
]]>We're firmly in the Summer Game Fest era, there's no getting around that fact. E3 is certified dead - and video game publishers have taken the opportunity to hold individual events and streams separate from the industry's once-solo summer show. As the sun beams down on an E3-less LA, video game execs involved in the show have looked back at the life and death of the event.
]]>In a statement to provided to VG247, it appears that not only is E3 dead, but there have been no discussions surrounding a potential sale of the E3 brand.
]]>In a blast from the past, PlayStation's now pretty infamous 2006 E3 press conference is available to check out in HD for the first time.
]]>You know the worst thing about E3, towards the end? It felt so false. It was the event equivalent of that Steve Buscemi ‘how do you do, fellow kids?’ meme – corporations rocking up and asking you to ‘hang out’, watch some ‘rad gameplay trailers’, and engage with its ‘poggers’ branding. Opening up to the public, the show didn’t really know what it wanted to be: was it a mega-serious B2B corporate fair that excelled at meetings and behind-closed-doors secret handshakes? Or was it a hip, young, and cool game fest that understood what it was to be a Gen Z gamer willing to spend megabucks to get to downtown LA for a few days and soak up the vibes?
]]>E3 is still a possibility for 2024 and beyond, according to a statement from the ESA. This statement comes following a Los Angeles City Tourism Board of Commissioners meeting that presented figures that took E3's cancellation in 2024 and 2025 into account.
]]>This year’s E3 has been cancelled. The announcement was first made in an email from the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) to its members (originally reported by IGN), which was then later confirmed publicly.

]]>It's been a few years since we've got to enjoy an honest-to-God, proper E3 show. The Electronic Entertainment Expo, known more commonly as E3, has been on hold for a few years thanks to various complications, but in 2023 it's coming back – and it's under new ownership, to boot.
]]>The ESA – the company behind the Electronic Entertainment Expo, known more commonly as E3 – has officially cancelled its digital-only event this year after cancelling the in-person event back in January. The result? No E3 of any kind in 2022.
]]>With a new variant of Covid sweeping the globe, the Entertainment Software Association has once again decided to make this year's E3 event online only.
