We haven&#8217;t had an edition since 2019, either because of the COVID-19 pandemic that prevented any type of event or because the organizers themselves didn&#8217;t know what to do with the show <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/why-has-e3-2023-cancelled\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">and ended up canceling it<\/a>. In fact, the latter seems to be the major problem on the table: they <strong>have no idea whether they will hold the upcoming editions of the Los Angeles trade fair<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The context is as follows. Just a few hours ago, the <a href=\"https:\/\/tourism.lacity.gov\/sites\/g\/files\/wph1946\/files\/2023-06\/06-21-23%20CTD%20Commission%20Meeting%20Packet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Los Angeles City Tourism Board<\/a> published the results of the conventions held in the city\u2026 and there was a surprise among the slides, as it stated, <strong>&#8220;including the cancellations of E3 for 2024 and 2025.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In another document from the Los Angeles Department of Tourism, dated October 2022, it was mentioned that the <strong>ESA had reserved the space for two more years<\/strong>. Therefore, if the cancellation has been reported now when it was previously reserved\u2026 it means that a decision has been made between that October and now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/e3-2024-cancelado-664x374-1-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-236595\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/e3-2024-cancelado-664x374-1-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/e3-2024-cancelado-664x374-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/e3-2024-cancelado-664x374-1-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/e3-2024-cancelado-664x374-1-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/e3-2024-cancelado-664x374-1-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/e3-2024-cancelado-664x374-1-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/e3-2024-cancelado-664x374-1-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/e3-2024-cancelado-664x374-1-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/e3-2024-cancelado-664x374-1-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/e3-2024-cancelado-664x374-1-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/e3-2024-cancelado-664x374-1-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/06\/e3-2024-cancelado-664x374-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In response to this news, the ESA (Electronic Software Association) has issued a statement in an attempt to <strong>calm the uproar<\/strong>, although it&#8217;s unclear if it has actually aggravated the situation. In the statement provided, they indicated that &#8220;we are still in discussions about E3 2024 (and beyond) and no final decision has been made regarding the event at this time.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With these statements from the organization, it is clear that the celebration of the event <strong>is completely up in the air<\/strong>. However, if we had to lean towards one side of the scale, it is evident that these editions are likely to be canceled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CEO of the ESA, Stanley Pierre-Louis, previously stated when the 2023 edition was canceled that the convention would return in 2024. However, the reality is that the <strong>ESA does not have the support of the major companies in the industry<\/strong>, including the biggest ones that stir up the whole scene to generate momentum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ESA has had to deal with information that emerged about the cancellation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9091,"featured_media":236592,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wpcf-pageviews":0},"categories":[1018,1015],"tags":[],"usertag":[],"vertical":[],"content-category":[],"class_list":["post-236590","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gaming","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236590","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9091"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=236590"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236590\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":319526,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236590\/revisions\/319526"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236592"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=236590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236590"},{"taxonomy":"usertag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertag?post=236590"},{"taxonomy":"vertical","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vertical?post=236590"},{"taxonomy":"content-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-category?post=236590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
