E3 was once the world's largest game industry exhibition, and every June game manufacturers and game media from all over the world gather together to get the latest game information and many opportunities for communication. However, after the arrival of the epidemic, the E3 exhibition could not be held offline, and it was even temporarily suspended. Recently, it was reported that the future of the E3 exhibition is very uncertain, and it may be completely cool.
According to IGN, the E3 organizing committee ESA canceled the 2022 offline event, and the ESA also told IGN that they are still unable to determine whether to hold an online digital E3 exhibition - previous E3 exhibitions will start preparations a year in advance. It looks like the future of E3 is uncertain. And there are also multiple sources that revealed to IGN that in fact, ESA completely abandoned the hope of offline exhibitions last fall, and their long silence made people doubt the survival of E3 exhibitions.
On the other hand, Bloomberg's Jason Schreier also revealed that E3 is mostly cold. He himself misses the previous offline E3 exhibition because he can meet many new and old friends, but now that the epidemic in the United States is still very serious, he can't think of a reason for everyone to go to Los Angeles (where E3 is held) in June.
In fact, after the E3 exhibition was converted to an online form, some manufacturers no longer participated in E3. Sony has not participated in E3 for several consecutive years, and as the Internet becomes more and more developed, online conferences can also be held with sound and color, and manufacturers do not seem to need to be marked with the banner of "E3". Perhaps, this large-scale annual game show, which has been held since 1995, is about to become history.
