Arrangörerna lovar: E3-mässan är tillbaka nästa år
Arrangörerna bakom den stora gamingmässan E3 lovar att mässan återkommer i sin klassiska skepnad under 2023. Detta efter att man till följd av coronapandemin antingen har tvingats genomföra mässan som ett digitalt evenemang, alternativt ställa in den. Det rapporterar Engadget.
– Hur mycket vi än älskar de här digitala evenemangen, och hur många människor de än når globalt, så vet vi att det finns en stark önskan om att samlas, träffas öga mot öga och prata om vad som gör spel så fantastiskt, säger arrangören ESA:s vd Stan Pierre-Louis i en intervju med Washington Post.
ESA har inte kommit med några uppgifter om datum, men E3-mässan brukar normalt sett genomföras i juni.

E3 (short for Electronic Entertainment Expo or Electronic Entertainment Experience in 2021) is a trade event for the video game industry. The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) organizes and presents E3, which many developers, publishers, hardware, and accessory manufacturers use to introduce and advertise upcoming games and game-related merchandise to retailers and to members of the press. E3 includes an exhibition floor for developers, publishers, and manufacturers to showcase their titles and products for sale in the upcoming year. Before and during the event, publishers and hardware manufacturers usually hold press conferences to announce new games and products.
Over time, E3 has been considered the largest gaming-expo of the year by importance and impact. Before 2017, E3 was an industry-only event; the ESA required individuals wishing to attend to verify a professional relationship with the video game industry. With the rise of streaming media, several of the press conferences were broadcast to the public to increase their visibility. E3 2017 became open to the public for the first time, with 15,000 general-admittance passes for those who wanted to attend.E3 took place annually in June at the Los Angeles Convention Center from 1995 to 2019. The event was cancelled for the first time in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the event in 2021 was held online. The 2022 event was cancelled in full, with no announced plans for a virtual event, though the ESA stated they intend to return for 2023.
