E3 2024 Could Be Canceled, But A "Complete Reinvention" Of The Show Is Planned For 2025

A 2024 E3 event is looking unlikely, as convention company ReedPop will no longer work on future events alongside E3 organizer the Entertainment Software Association. Following the cancellation of this year’s E3, the ESA also informed the Los Angeles Convention Center that it has no plans to put on a show in that venue next year. If an E3 event is held in 2024, it’ll be in a different venue for the first time since 2008.

According to GamesIndustry.biz, the ESA still has big plans for E3 and is working on a “complete reinvention” of the show for a possible return in 2025. ReedPop, the organizer behind PAX, originally signed a multi-year deal to relaunch E3, which hasn’t held an in-person event since 2019. E3 2023 was canceled at the last minute due to a cited lack of interest from …

Premier League preview: QPR v Aston Villa

Two struggling sides will meet in the Premier League on Saturday when rock-bottom QPR host Aston Villa at Loftus Road.

Newly appointed manager Harry Redknapp was pleased with what he saw in a goalless draw with Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Tuesday but the fact remains his side are winless from 14 Premier League games.

The former Tottenham boss has worked wonders in the past but his task at QPR, who sit eight points adrift of safety will be the most difficult of his managerial career.

Luckily for Redknapp there is plenty of quality in the squad with captain Par Ji-Sung returning against Sunderland for his first game in over a month and Adel Taarabt a constant spark in the heart of midfield.

Rangers will likely be without shot-stopper Julio Cesar,…

Coppa Italia Preview: Fiorentina v Napoli

Rafael Benitez will look to crown his first year with Napoli with a trophy when they face Fiorentina in Saturday s Coppa Italia final.

The Spaniard took over at the Stadio San Paolo last May after Walter Mazzarri left to join Inter.

He has enjoyed relative success in his maiden season Napoli, all but securing a return to the UEFA Champions League for next season, a competition from which they suffered a narrow exit in the group stages this term.

Former Valencia, Liverpool, Inter and Chelsea boss Benitez has won a trophy with each of the last four clubs he has managed and is on the brink of continuing that streak with Napoli at the Stadio Olimpico.

But the 2012 winners face a stern test if they are to regain the trophy against a Fiorentina team who represent their…

I haven´t experienced racism in Russia, says Martins

Rubin Kazan striker Obafemi Martins says that he has never encountered any racism in Russia since his transfer in the summer of 2010.

Gignac linked with Serie A switch; Sevilla join race for Pedro Tiba

Gignac linked with Serie A switch

Marseille striker Andre-Pierre Gignac could be moving to Italian Serie A in the near future, .

The highly rated forward will be out of contract in the summer and top European clubs are lining up for his services.

Gignac has yet to be offered a new deal at Stade Velodrome despite the fact that he is ready to consider staying at the club, meaning that a move away from OM in January or the summer seems likely.

And while Dinamo Moscow and Galatasaray remain keen on the 29-year-old, the latest reports suggest Inter Milan and AC Milan are closely monitoring the situation.

Namely, the Milan rivals are both in the market for a quality centre forward and Gignac is high on their hit-list.

Not much has gone right for Chelsea this season, despite the huge investments of the last two transfer windows. But on Tuesday evening, many things did, as the London Blues beat Borussia Dortmund at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of their clash in the round of 16 of the Champions League, booking a place in the next round despite losing the first leg.
