According to ESA president and CEO Stan Pierre-Louis, the show is expected to come back once again by 2023. This was said to The Washington Post in an interview. The Electronic Entertainment Expo has been a staple of the game industry since the 5th generation of consoles. However, its popularity has waned over the last few years for a myriad of reasons. Stan believes that COVID has been a driving factor for a lot of people for the last three years and that there still is value in doing an in-person event. So, do we have a date? No. It seems like for now the plan is to just reveal their latest Essential Facts About the Industry report. But the ESA will probably announce the next E3 date by the end of the year. We’ll have to stay tuned for more information regarding the 2023 edition of E3 if that happens. And I think there is a space for a physical show; I think there’s an importance of having digital reach. Combining those two, I think there is a critical element of what we think E3 can provide.
