As we told you a while ago, the celebration of E3 2024 is looking worse and worse. For those of you who are not so placed in the video game sector, The E3 fair has been since its inception the most important in the world of gamesbut it takes several years in low hours and with many of the latest editions having been canceled, like the one of this 2023, for example. Now, thanks to GamesIndustry mediumwe have learned that this event is increasingly difficult to raise its head.
A few moments ago, the aforementioned outlet shared very discouraging news that was published today by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA)the association of video game companies that organized the event, and RedPoop, a company that had been hired to carry out this year’s uncelebrated edition. The news in question is that Both companies, by mutual agreement, have ceased their collaboration just 14 months following having started it, in order to carry out E3 2023 and future editions.something that ultimately has not happened and will not happen.
E3 2024 is in serious danger and 2025 might be a year of novelties at the fair
With this news everything points to E3 2024 seems to have a very complicated celebration. Now, there is another detail to take into account and that can be the great indication that next year the renowned fair will not be held either from the world of video games. Specifically, it has also been revealed that there will not be an in-person event at the Los Angeles Convention Centerthe place where the event dedicated to developers, players and the press took place every year.
Kyle Marsden-Kish, Head of Gaming Events at RedPoop, has shared a few words along with this news: “Although we won’t be involved in the future of E3, we look forward to seeing its evolution and where ESA takes it.“, indicated the RedPoop executive. Now we will have to see how this affects E3 2024, since this one hasn’t been canceled yet but right now it seems like just a matter of time May that sad announcement come to pass.
Perhaps next year’s edition looks very bad, but from GamesIndustry they indicate that everything indicates that ESA might already be working on “a complete reinvention of the event” for its supposed edition in 2025. Therefore, with this note, we can almost assume that there will be no fair in 2024, but it would be held the following year. Stanley Pierre-Louis, President and CEO of ESA, wanted to ensure that They are still looking for a way to organize new editions of E3 in the future. “The reach of E3 continues to be unmatched in our industry,” he says.
Next June, @SummerGameFest returns to Los Angeles for a spectacular celebration of what’s next in gaming.
