The famous Electronic Entertainment Expo which was held every year in Los Angeles was fatally injured before the pandemic hit. It is obvious that the Covid-29 did not help either, but by then, two of the major hardware manufacturing companies had already jumped ship. Sony and Nintendo, both Japanese, have turned their backs on E3, so what will happen in 2023?
Nothing from 2022 but yes in 2023
Last year, if you remember, there was no E3 as such, but rather a date hostada by the ineffable Geoff Keighley who was called like Summer game party. But despite its online format and the great support (a priori) that it was going to have from the industry, it did not convince anyone. Basically, we all missed that old system of conferences before the big fair celebration at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
So said and done. We have known since last summer that we will have an E3 this year, although doubts arise as to its format and, above all, which companies will be present. Will Nintendo and Sony return to show off their news in the stalls The biggest and most spectacular of all the pavilions or will we have to settle for Microsoft and Xbox? Well, it looks like we already have some answers…and you’re not going to like them.
According to some sources revealed and published by IGN, this E3 2023 seems to be a decaffeinated edition again y light, barring any last-minute surprises. And that’s because neither Sony nor Nintendo will be there, but neither will Microsoft. That is to say, none of First party who have consoles on the market and who, like it or not, are the big drivers of the whole industry, at least when it comes to home gaming systems.
The industry is not doing well
If this news is confirmed, the ball would automatically go to the roof of the big developers who, by the way, are not here to get excited and it does not seem that they will distance themselves from this decision. It’s unclear if Ubisoft is ready to get involved in the massive E3 attendance expense with a support
At any rate, E3 2023 continues for now, with plans to keep and with the web open to receive requests from exhibitors and from the press and specialized media, so we understand that they will soon tell us how they are going to do it since, on this occasion, the firm RedPop is rear. They also found an original way to revive the old Los Angeles fair in another way, giving weight to the face-to-face part as well as the online part in such a way that all its interest remains intact.
