E3 2023 wants to be held in digital format from June 15 to 17 – Igromania

Organizers E3 2023 Send a pitch presentation to publishers and developers about plans for a digital show this year, June 15-17. Reported by VGC

The Entertainment Software Association hopes to host several 2-hour shows featuring partner games and awards ceremony, and then begin a stream of smaller broadcasts from publishers, bloggers and media partners.

In addition, journalists want to provide access to some demos of upcoming projects so that they can share their impressions, and then these probes are planned to be released on various platforms for consumers.

All this has one big “but” – if the ESA participants, which include the largest gaming companies, do not support such a format, then the exhibition will have to be changed or canceled again, as happened last year.

E3 organizers have been under pressure to “reinvent” the exhibition for several years now, while many major publishers like EA, Sony and Ubisoft are quite successful in hosting their own events independently of the ESA.

The VGC material notes that companies will have to pay six-figure sums to participate in digital E3 2023 – that is, at least 100 thousand dollars, about 7.5 million rubles
