ESA Teams Up with ReedPop to Revive E3 for 2023
E3 has been having a rough time lately. The last two years, it’s been completely canceled after going virtual the year before. This has made many question if it will ever make a recovery. Well, they’re going to try to rise from the ashes like a phoenix next year. It was recently announced that the video game event is set to return in the second week of June 2023 at the LA Convention Center. ReedPop, the organizers of PAX, Star Wars Celebration, and New York Comic Con, has partnered with ESA for this return and the duo is shooting to make the return huge. Talking about bringing E3 back, Lance Fensterman of ReedPop said:
It is a tremendous honor and privilege for ReedPop to take on the responsibility of bringing E3 back in 2023. With the support and endorsement of the ESA, we're going to build a world class event to serve the global gaming industry in new and broader ways than we already do at ReedPop through our portfolio of world leading events and web sites.
Kyle Marsden-Kish who is leading the new E3 team shared:
For years, we’ve listened, heard, and studied the global gaming community’s feedback. E3 2023 will be recognizably epic—a return to form that honors what’s always worked—while reshaping what didn’t and setting a new benchmark for video game expos in 2023 and beyond.
Stanley Pierre-Louis of the ESA added:
We are thrilled to bring back E3 as an in-person event with ReedPop, a global leader in producing pop culture events. The past three years have confirmed that E3 convenes our industry like no other event. ReedPop brings world-class talent and a keen understanding of the video game industry, which will serve to enhance the E3 experience for years to come.
If things go as plan, fans can expect “titanic AAA reveals, earth-shaking world premieres, and exclusive access to the future of video games.” Do you think that ReedPop will be able to bring E3 back?
