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. The news was later confirmed in a tweet from the official E3 Twitter account: “ReedPop and the Enterainment Software Association (ESA) have announced that both the digital and physical events for E3 2023 are canceled.” News on #E32023 from the source. pic.twitter.com/BK7TUlb8mZ— E3 (@E3) March 30, 2023 E3 was going to return to its original venue in Los Angeles since 2019.
