The event was known as the major gathering for the industry and was often where the year's biggest news was unveiled or new games made their debut. The expo ran annually until 2019, the year it held its final in-person event. E3 2020 would go on to be canceled in June of that year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2021, E3 returned as an online-only event due to the ongoing concerns surrounding COVID-19. E3 planned to hold an in-person event once again in 2022, but that was soon also canceled due to the pandemic and, unfortunately no online event was scheduled in its place that year.
E3 announced that it would return in 2023 and the expo was partnering with ReedPop, the pop culture event planning group behind other massively successful conventions such as New York Comic Con and PAX. However, months before the scheduled June 2023 event, E3 announcedit was canceling the event yet again. This time, though, it wasn't due to COVID-19 but lack of interestfrom the industry.

It appears that during the years in which E3 was unable to host its usual showcase, these companies found that running their own online events, focusing on their own lineups, to be more fruitful endeavors.
In his statement to the Washington Post, the ESA's Pierre-Louis explained that the industry has evolved to the point where E3 was just no longer a necessity.
"We know it’s difficult to say goodbye to such a beloved event, but it’s the right thing to do given the new opportunities our industry has to reach fans and partners," he said.
