E3 2023 has been cancelled for both the in-person and digital events
Once Xbox, Nintendo, Ubisoft and Sega announced that they were not going to be attending E3 2023 themselves, with two of them having shows of their own at the same time though, the writing was on the wall and today E3 2023 was cancelled.
“This was a difficult decision because of all the effort we and our partners put toward making this event happen, but we had to do what’s right for the industry and what’s right for E3. We appreciate and understand that interested companies wouldn’t have playable demos ready and that resourcing challenges made being at E3 this summer an obstacle they couldn’t overcome. For those who did commit to E3 2023, we’re sorry we can’t put on the showcase you deserve and that you’ve come to expect from ReedPop’s event experiences.”
This is not surprising really, ReedPop might be masters at conventions, but they charge a lot for space within the venues they have and then try to recoup their costs via merch and such. The problem is that E3 was not that type of show and without big names to draw in paying ticket holders, it begged the question on how they could work.
A fun little trivia piece, we used the same art for this story that we did last year
