E3 returns as an in-person event in June 2023

The world’s biggest gaming trade show returns next year.

We’ve known that the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) would make a comeback next year for a hot minute, but now there are actual dates.

On Monday, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) announced that E3 will take place from June 13, 2023, through June 16, 2023, at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Unlike prior iterations of E3, ReedPop will produce the event as part of a new strategic partnership.

“E3 is one of the global gaming industry’s few opportunities to come together, unite as one loud voice, and show the world what it is creating,” Kyle Marsden-Kish, ReedPop VP of gaming, said in a press release. “Our vision is to reunite the industry by re-establishing the traditional E3 week, bring back that spark, and restore E3’s role as a truly magical global showcase event for game creators and consumers.”

ReedPop organizes other massive conventions and trade shows, such as the PAX, Star Wars Celebration, and New York Comic Con.

There’s been plenty of speculation that E3 was going away, though the ESA has been adamant that the show will go on. This past summer, E3 didn’t even have a digital event, leaving companies like Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo to hold separate showcases.
