It is indeed disheartening to witness one of the world’s largest gaming events potentially losing its relevance in just a few short years. It’s as if the blow from the COVID-19 pandemic, which once made quarantine mandatory, has now delivered a harsh blow that prevents it from regaining its footing and improving itself.
Yes, we are talking about the E3 event, typically held in the United States. Cancelled in 2023, its fate for the 2024 event appears even more dismal and worrisome, rather than bringing a more optimistic outlook.
Instead of optimism, the energy surrounding the potential hosting of E3 2024 next year has grown even gloomier. What’s the reason? Despite the event being quite far off, it is already plagued by several issues. The first significant issue? The organizer responsible for this event, Reedpop, has decided to depart and sever ties with the organization responsible for E3, ESA.
The second issue? ESA has also confirmed that it’s highly likely they won’t be able to utilize the LA Convention Centre as they have in previous years.
However, ESA itself remains undeterred. They reportedly still see potential in E3 for the following year – 2025, with the hope of truly “rediscovering” a more relevant concept. What about you? Are you optimistic about E3 making a comeback?
