The owner of E3, the video game industry’s most important annual showcase, has confirmed it currently has no organiser or location to hold the show in 2024.
Reedpop, the owner of events such as PAX, EGX and websites such as Eurogamer.net, has now said it will not work on future iterations of E3, after previously partnering with the ESA to relaunch the show this year.
The ESA has also informed the Los Angeles Convention Centre, E3’s long-held home, it will not turn up there in 2024 - following an earlier report which stated the LA City Tourism Department did not expect the show to run there for the forseeable future.
With most big publishers doing direct events regularly, and smaller devs getting better reach at things like PAX, who needs E3 any more?
