No Devolver E3 Parking Lot this year but we will have a fresh, new Devolver Direct presentation during be gooooooood. The publisher has a digital Devolver Direct scheduled in for June: hhz2lqMUMdĮven Devolver Digital, which had been known to run some kind of kooky counter-event in a nearby Hooters parking lot as part of a long-standing conflict with E3, said they’re not doing that this year (the parking lot is seemingly gone now, anyway) but would consider other LA Convention Centre-based events in future. This follows PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, and Ubisoft all backing out of the show. Sega and Tencent will be skipping E3 2023, and rumors swirl that the return of gaming’s biggest event may not happen after all. The outlet also reports that, upon speaking to individuals close to the matter, there’s a growing doubt within publishing and PR circles that E3 can continue as planned, citing a lack of communication from the ESA and new organisers ReedPop as well as no word on any confirmed attendees.īoth SEGA and Tencent have had pretty big presences at recent trade shows like Gamescom and Tokyo Game Show. 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.”įollowing both Microsoft and Nintendo confirming they won’t be attending E3’s first year back as a physical event since 2019, and Ubisoft changing its plans and pulling out, IGN has reported that both SEGA and Tencent have also decline to attend this year. 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.
“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.
Update: E3’s event this year has indeed been cancelled.
