The rumors were true: E3 is making a return to its former glory and will be open to a broader range of industry professionals next year. According to an X-Play segment, the show will once again take place at the Los Angeles Convention Center in California on Tuesday, June 2 though Thursday, June 4. While an exact figure went unspecified, invites will be up for grabs to “tens of thousands” of people.

That means, even if you don’t own a gaming site or write about games, you’ll still have a decent chance at getting in next year. Unfortunately, there’s no word on if booth babes will be making a comeback as well at this time.
