Nothing is going right at the once mythical world fair for video games. Even if the situation this year has not been favorable for E3, it seems that the same fate awaits it in the next two years.

A comeback that doesn’t happen

We were already anticipating the grand return of E3 this year and ESA, the association behind the show, promised us a physical edition of the Thunder…then Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo all canceled before Ubisoft did. also. As you know so well The 2023 iteration never happened, confirming all suspicions: the E3 is doing badly, very badly, and everything smells of doom.

However, we were told that next year’s event would be held after a total reorganization to find the right formula for it a changing audience, or at least an audience that no longer consumes information in the same way.

The restrictions due to COVID-19 will definitely have accelerated the process of dematerialization. Urging manufacturers and publishers to organize their own showcase, instead of a conference at the mythical Los Angeles Convention Center. And obviously things aren’t going well.

Already very bad news

Normally we shouldn’t have left E3 2023 if this had happened, but now we already have news about the next editions… and they’re far from good. The pot of roses is revealed to us a very official document from the Los Angeles City Tourism Board of Commissioners, who apparently voted to cancel E3 2024 and E3 2025 after a meeting last night.

Axios’ Stephen Totilo has therefore reached out to ESA (the organization behind E3, as we recall) for a response. This visibly makes contact and states that “the fate of the show in 2024 is uncertain.”””” “ESA is currently in discussions with Association Members and other stakeholders regarding E3 2024 (and beyond) and no final decision has been made regarding the events at this time.”

Nevertheless, To see the City of Los Angeles say in black and white that E3 2024 and 2025 will be canceled does not bode well and it is possible that ESA is initially just trying to calm down while waiting to formalize matters. We will see.

In any case, There is no doubt that the Summer Game Festhis spiritual successor, led by Geoff Keighley (the man behind the Game Awards), he will be there for the next few years
