E3 has become a thing of the past. As of the time of writing, there are no signs indicating that the event, which once served as a guiding light for gamers worldwide, will make a comeback.
Apart from the post-COVID-19 blow that rendered it unable to be held in the name of safety, the presence of competing events—such as the Summer Game Fest spearheaded by Geoff Keighley—has also been a significant contributor.
The event, which in recent years has served as a platform for publishers and developers to build hype around their products, is once again scheduled for 2024.
Geoff Keighley proudly announced that the Summer Game Fest will return for the year 2024 in June. Now boasting a projected audience reaching thousands, the event will be broadcast live from the Youtube Theater in Los Angeles.
