2023年E3游戏展正式取消

最近几周，大公司和发行商在一系列报道和声明中证实，他们不会参加2023年的E3，先是任天堂和微软，然后是最近的育碧和世嘉。随后有报道称，该活动可能被完全取消。这一说法现已得到官方证实。

今年的官方活动主办方ESA和ReedPop最近宣布：原定于6月13日至6月16日举行的2023年E3已正式取消

ESA和ReedPop在一份声明中表示:“这是一个艰难的决定，因为我们和我们的合作伙伴为举办这次活动付出了所有努力，但我们必须做对行业和E3有利的事情。我们理解并理解感兴趣的公司还没有准备好可玩的演示版本，而今年夏天E3展的资源挑战也成为了他们无法克服的障碍。对于那些承诺参加2023年E3的人，我们很抱歉我们不能为你们展示你们应得的，以及你们对ReedPop的活动体验的期待。”

E3已经在不同程度上挣扎了好几年，2018年的E3是最后一个功能齐全的活动。2019年的E3展是索尼自举办以来首次退出，而2020年的E3展则因COVID-19大流行而完全取消。该节目于2021年回归，但容量非常有限，而且是纯数字活动，而在2022年，它再次被取消。

Major companies and publishers had confirmed in recent weeks in a string of reports and announcements that they wouldn’t be involved in E3 2023, starting with the likes of Nintendo and Microsoft and then, more recently, Ubisoft and Sega following in their footsteps. Reports subsequently emerged, claiming that the event could be cancelled altogether imminently. That has now been officially confirmed. E3 2023, which was set to take place from June 13 to June 16, has been officially cancelled, it was announced recently by the ESA and ReedPop, this year’s official event organizers. In a statement to IGN, the ESA and ReedPop said, “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. 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. 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.” E3 has been struggling to varying degrees for a number of years, with E3 2018 having been the last fully-featured event to be put on. E3 2019 saw Sony backing out from the show for the first time since its inception, while E3 2020 was cancelled altogether due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The show returned in 2021, but in very limited capacity and as a digital-only event, while in 2022, it was cancelled again. The month of June still has a number of major gaming events and showcases scheduled, however, including Summer Game Fest, the Xbox Games Showcase (which will be followed immediately by the Starfield Direct), and Ubisoft Forward. Reportedly, Sony also has a PlayStation Showcase planned for around that time. Meanwhile, leaks have claimed that Konami, too, had big plans for E3 2023, with announcements lined up for a Metal Gear Solid 3 remake and a new Castlevania game, though it remains to be seen how the company will shift plans now that the event has been cancelled.
