It is by\u00a0a laconic statement on the E3 website<\/a>\u00a0The organizers have hammered the final nail into the coffin of the Californian video game show. And if this 2023 edition is cancelled, it is undoubtedly the event itself that disappears.<\/p>\n

We'd sensed it coming for a few days, but it's now a reality, with Nintendo, Microsoft, and Ubisoft all withdrawing. The major Californian video game event, the legendary E3 that made millions of gamers dream in its heyday, will not take place this year. The show's homepage displays this succinct message:\u00ab\u00a0Organizer ReedPop has announced that E3 will not take place as planned this June: all events, both in-person and online, are cancelled. ReedPop and the ESA will work together to consider the future of E3.<\/em>\u00abIn short, if the 2023 edition is already consigned to oblivion, it's a safe bet that the 2021 edition of E3 was the last. Because yes, E3 2022 was also cancelled at the time.<\/p>\n

Some good times\u2026 And some not so good.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Between bombshell announcements, misleading trailers, surprise guests, monumental fails broadcast worldwide, and cosplay gatherings, E3 has certainly managed to generate buzz since its first edition in 1995. At that event, the announcement of the price of the first PlayStation (only 299 $ when the competition was charging around 400 $) caused a minor earthquake and almost sealed the fate of the Sega Saturn. The publishers' conferences have often been an opportunity to whet gamers' appetites with stunning trailers, as was the case for...\u00a0Half-Life 2<\/em>\u00a0in 2003. Hopes sometimes dashed by trailers far too impressive to be honest, as was the case with that of\u00a0KillZone 2<\/em>\u00a0in 2005 which had nothing to do with the final result.<\/p>\n

The various stages of E3 also hosted major figures from the industry, such as Shigeru Miyamoto armed with the mythical Hylian shield and the\u00a0Master Sword<\/em>\u00a0of\u00a0Legend of Zelda<\/em>\u00a0during the presentation of\u00a0Twilight Princess<\/em>\u00a0in 2004\u2026 A much more controlled intervention from the Nintendo legend than the announcement of\u00a0Wii Music<\/em>\u00a0during which his performance of the Mario theme on the Wii Remote turned into a fiasco. Much more recently, Keanu Reeves was invited by CD Projekt Red to a conference concerning\u00a0Cyberpunk 2077<\/em>.<\/p>\n

A slow descent into hell.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Despite occasional flashes of brilliance, E3 has never truly recaptured the enthusiasm of its early days and the fervor of the 2000s and 2010s. With the rise of the internet and online conferences, manufacturers have often preferred to manage their own communications by organizing their own showcases at key times of the year, rather than just in mid-June. The industry giants (Nintendo, Microsoft \u2013 with the Xbox brand \u2013 and Sony \u2013 with PlayStation \u2013) have gradually abandoned the halls of the Los Angeles Convention Center, and the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019 and 2020 only exacerbated the situation. We may have just witnessed the final blow to E3 with the statement from ReedPop and the ESA.<\/p>\n
