Well, it looks like this really might be the end of the historic annual event that was E3<\/strong>, as reports from a regular meeting of the LA Convention Centre<\/strong> tourism commission confirms that if the event were to return, it wouldn\u2019t do so until 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because E3 has already been cancelled for 2024 and 2025.<\/a> <\/strong>Before we could even have the conversation around whether or not E3 would return next year and the year after, ReedPop<\/strong> has gone ahead to take it off the board.<\/p>\n

It could be that ReedPop is taking the two years as time to rebuild the show for a hopeful triumphant return in 2026. It could also end up being the case that by the time it would try and return, it would still find itself a step behind Geoff Keighely\u2019s Summer Games Fest<\/strong> show.<\/p>\n

E3 was for many years the epicenter of the gaming industry, where annually the biggest players would come to showcase their biggest and best titles, including new hardware.<\/p>\n

There are countless moments that are ingrained in many a players memory of when some of the industries foundational titles were revealed, and far more awkward and cringe moments than the executives a part of them would care to admit.<\/p>\n

If it never returns, it\u2019ll be the end of an era for sure, though the end of one means the beginning of another, as we move forward into the annual Keighley-fest.<\/p>\n
