According to information from IGN, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), the organization that founded E3, the event scheduled for June 13-16 in Los Angeles will not take place. We remind you that it was scheduled to be the first in-person E3 since 2019.

According to 2 sources close to the ESA, the organization sent an email to its members. In it, it noted that while E3 remains a "beloved" brand and event, the reality is that the 2023 edition did not "garner the sustained interest necessary to execute it in a way that would showcase the size, strength, and impact of our industry."

It is worth mentioning that in the email the ESA does not mention anything about a new edition of E3 next year and only commits to continue supporting the industry. So, it is unknown if this news will be the final nail in the event's coffin. E3 2023 was scheduled to be held June 13-16 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California.

The Hype starts now. 👀#E32023 will take place in person from June 13-16 in the Los Angeles Convention Center with separated business and consumer days and areas.

Many users have shared their perspectives on this situation. Some believe that this was inevitable as E3 was in decline and showed no improvement in recent years, others still enjoyed this famous event and looked forward to attending, and even think that this will be temporary and E3 can still be reborn better than before.
