An E3 without Sony.
According to Game Informer, the PlayStation Experience will not be at E3 this coming year. They are reportedly considering other options for future interaction with fans. Their statement:
As the industry evolves, Sony Interactive Entertainment continues to look for inventive opportunities to engage the community. PlayStation fans mean the world to us and we always want to innovate, think differently and experiment with new ways to delight gamers. As a result, we have decided not to participate in E3 in 2019. We are exploring new and familiar ways to engage our community in 2019 and can’t wait to share our plans with you.
They were then asked whether or not they’d hold an off-site event, like EA and Xbox have. PlayStation senior vice president of communications Jennifer Clark responded by saying, “we will not activate or hold a press conference around E3.”
When asked whether the PlayStation Experience would ever come back to E3, Clark said:
[Sony is] looking at events as a whole and how we can speak more to our fans and continue to wow them.The timing of PSX and E3 didn’t allow for that, but lots of exciting things to come, and we hope to share shortly. Some of our biggest games will have key milestones next year so we will work hard to blow those up
On the one hand, this is a bit sad; Son’y been at E3 for just under a quarter century. On the other hand that’s a rather large chunk of floor space up for grabs. We’ll just have to see what Sony has in store for us.
