The ESA has addressed the recent rumors that E3 won’t be held for the next two years. While the annual Electronic Entertainment Expo convention was once the definitive outlet for new video game reveals and special showcases, the combination of the COVID-19 pandemic, decreased interest in the show, and the rise of viable alternatives like Summer Game Fest has caused the last couple of E3s to either be canceled outright or met with a more lukewarm reception. While E3 made a brief comeback with its online-only 2021 livestream, the event would later be canned in both 2022 and 2023.
