There will be no E3 in 2024 or 2025, according to an official Los Angeles government source

Although E3 was canceled in 2022 and 2023, many held out hope that the event would return in the future in some form. While we can’t say yet that he’s received the last nail in his coffin, new information indicates that there will be no E3 for the next 2 years.

On June 21, the Los Angeles Board of Tourism Commissioners held a meeting to discuss tourism in the city. As part of the meeting they published a document which includes, among other things, data on the economic spill that they expect to exist in fiscal year 2022 and 2023 due to different tourist events in the city.

What is striking is that the document indicates that these figures take into account the cancellation of E3 for the years 2024 and 2025. Let us remember that previously this same body indicated that these editions of the event were scheduled to start on June 11, 2024 and on June 3, 2025.

So far, the Entertainment Software Association (known as ESA) has not commented on it. However, the information comes from a good source, so it can be said that it is practically official that there will be no E3 in the next 2 years, or at least not in Los Angeles.

Let’s remember that, despite the best efforts of ESA, the reality is that E3 has been in trouble for years. After Sony made the decision to leave the event in 2019 to go its own way, the organization had to face a pandemic and the growing lack of interest from exhibitors to participate. To this we must add the emergence of the Summer Game Fest as a competition and that large companies now prefer to manage their events and have complete control over them.

We will stay tuned and let you know when we know more about this news.
