He also added that they are hopeful about next year’s hybrid format. “Combining those two spaces, I think there’s a critical element of what we think E3 can provide,” she concluded.
Competition with Summer Game Fest could be lethal for E3
Since 2020 the competition for E3 arose. This is Summer Game Fest, organized by Geoff Keighley, who is also in charge of the Game Awards. Currently this event includes a small face-to-face component for the press and although it still does not have the convening power of E3, which brought together more than 50,000 people, it is an issue to consider for those responsible for the convention.
Through his Twitter account, Keighley hinted that they could make the leap to a face-to-face event by 2023, which is a great risk for E3, since the Summer Game Fest currently already has the support of some of the biggest names in the industry, such as PlayStation and Xbox.
It should be remembered that in its short history, this event has already had important announcements. It was the site of the first demonstration of Sony’s DualSense controller, as well as one of the first Halo Infinite showcases.
