| Quote: | In a statement, the organisers said: "After more than two decades of E3, each one bigger than the last, the time has come to say goodbye."
It added: "Thanks for the memories. GGWP [good game well played]".
The 2023 expo had already been called off after analysts said it had "struggled to remain relevant".
Industry body Entertainment Software Association (ESA), which ran E3, confirmed to the BBC that the event will not go ahead in the future.
E3 - which stands for Electronic Entertainment Expo - was last held virtually in 2021.
The last in-person event was in 2019.
Game developer Hollie Bennett said it was "sad" to see E3 "fizzle out".
She wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that it was "hard to sum up the impact E3 had on the industry".
"Your year almost revolved around it!", she wrote. "Nothing generated buzz like E3 did." |
