The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has announced that it has not canceled plans for E3 in 2024. But the exhibition will not take place on the territory of the Los Angeles Convention Center — the traditional E3 venue.

In 2021, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), due to the COVID-19 pandemic, held an E3 gaming exhibition in an online format. As the IGN portal found out, at least $6 million was spent on organizing the event.

The Los Angeles Department of Tourism in the latest report announced the cancellation of E3 in 2024 and 2025. Recall that in 2022, he wrote that the organizers from the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) had booked a site for a gaming exhibition for three years ahead.

Geoff Keighley, the organizer of Summer Game Fest, does not agree that his festival was partly the reason for the cancellation of the E3 exhibition. He believes that E3 would not have taken place this year, even if Summer Game Fest did not exist.

The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has announced that the E3 exhibition will not take place in 2023.

In 2023, Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo are going to skip E3, IGN reports, citing sources. If the portal’s information is confirmed, it will be the first time that all three companies do not participate in the exhibition.

The head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, said that a joint show with Bethesda at E3 broke records for views from his company. He thanked for a great week and noted that Microsoft has not felt so much energy and inspiration from players and teams since the Xbox 360.

The last major presentation at E3 2021 was Nintendo Direct. According to many players, the show was very successful, but investors did not share the enthusiasm. The shares of the Japanese company fell by several points.

Most often, developers present their games at summer exhibitions like E3 or their own events. In his new column, gaming expert Simon Carless told how such events affect the growth of the number of vishlist, and what percentage of them are converted into purchases.Carless notes that the following criteria will help to track the effectiveness of participation in a certain exhibition or other online event:

On June 15, Capcom held a half-hour conference at E3. There were very few announcements there, which neither gamers nor investors liked. Immediately after the presentation, the company’s shares went down.

Yesterday, June 13, Microsoft and Square Enix held their conferences as part of E3 2021. We understand how the stock market and the gaming community reacted to them.

E3 and similar events have been criticized for years by both ordinary viewers and people from the industry. On the eve of the new exhibition, a big emotional thread on this topic was written by the head of Raw Fury and a scouting specialist Johan Toresson. He explained why developers and publishers should stop spending money on big events.Toresson’s thread appeared in response to criticism of the E3 media portal by Matt Brown, senior editor…

In March, the organizers of E3 announced the cancellation of the exhibition due to the coronavirus. But a lot of game publishers and the media are preparing their own events to replace it. We publish their calendar for June.

E3 may not take place this year. As stated by a number of media outlets, including Bloomberg, the organizer of the ESA event is going to announce its cancellation.

E3 in its current form is uncomfortable and uninteresting to the audience, according to Geoff Keighley, founder of The Game Awards. He was one of the organizers of the exhibition, but decided to ignore it for the first time in 25 years.

We are looking into what happened to the shares of Nintendo, Ubisoft, Sony, Square Enix, Microsoft and Electronic Arts after their presentations at E3.

On June 12, at 19.00, Nintendo started its show as part of E3. The performance turned out to be far from as large-scale as that of other platforms. In addition, the number of significant announcements was kept to a minimum. However, it became clear that the company is now betting heavily on multiplayer and co-op play.

On June 12, at four in the morning Moscow time, Sony held its presentation of new products as part of E3. The company finally showed the gameplay of two major exclusives for PlayStation 4 — The Last of Us 2 and Death Standing. What else was shown — read in our material.

On June 11, at 23.00 Moscow time, Ubisoft launched a presentation at E3. She did without a large number of announcements. At the same time, it cannot be called disappointing. The French did not skimp on CG trailers, product details and gameplay demonstrations of upcoming products. About the most interesting — in our material.
