E3 Replacement Gets a New Name: E for All

The game show, much like E3, will give gamers the chance to test out the newest games and interact with industry insiders, and will be hosted at the L.A. Convention Center in sunny California. Prices for tickets and event attendees haven’t been announced yet, but we’ll keep you posted as we learn more.
