Sony, EA, Activision Blizzard, Sega, Bandai Namco and Square Enix are currently not confirmed to appear in this digital E3.

Wonder if Bethesda are still doing their own conference?

 

[Bigkrev]

I can't believe they got Konami to pay to be a part of this when all they are going to show off is a new PES game

Or maybe E3 is showing pachislots now.

Seems PlayStation and EA are skipping.

No shock there.

 

[Lelouch0612]

That's way more than expected.

E3 is indeed back.

No Sega, Bandai Namco or Square Enix either.

Isn't this supposed to be infested with influencer junk anyway?

 

[ILikeFeet]

Some trailers and a gameplay demo thrown their way, I guess. Maybe a stream/restream hosting?

 

[Deleted member 68874]

Thank god. The spread out last year was terrible. Having all the big shows within a few days is the way to go. There are some notable ones missing like Sony, EA and Square though.

 

[WestEgg]

I wonder what incentive Nintendo has to do this, unless there's some sort of deal in place. They already are mostly divorced from the show for their actual announcements and just do Tree House at the show, and half the point of that is demos for the public and press.

 

[Astandahl]

Predicting a huge shitshow full of influencers and useless stuff.

 

[BlackheartVinyl]

‪Think any of these companies actually paid the 6 figures? Or did the ESA get desperate and drop that?‬

 

[Xadra]

Happy to still see a lot of companies on board with the E3.

some notable absentees, including Sony, EA, Activision Blizzard, Sega, Bandai Namco and Square Enix. The event takes place between June 12 and June 15, so there is still time for other publishers to sign up.

Sony doing their thing after is no surprise.

Agreed, last year was garbage.

Looks like E3 is still well and truly alive

Silent Hill?

 

[Streusel]

E3 is not dead! honestly surprised to see Nintendo on the list

 

[Rowsdower]

I didn't think Sony or EA would be there, but no Square Enix or Sega? Or Activision? Wonder if they're doing their own events.

 

[Tavernade]

This makes me happy. I'd forgotten how fun Nintendo Directs were with how rare they've been this past year.

Obviously this doesn't come out and say we're getting a full on Direct includes but we're at least likely getting something big.

 

[Bigkrev]

In all seriousness, that's a way better turnout than anyone could have expected, especially Nintendo, the company that has for years just done online videos. It seemed like Nintendo only was going to E3 to have a booth, but for them to commit to this online event really says something

No Sega or Square Enix either.

Click to shrink...

S-E isn't a surprise, they seem fine to do different showcases, but why would Sega come to the show, when Microsoft is buying them any day now?

 

[Deleted member 10737]

neat! looking forward to it.

You will still see plenty of spread out stuff. And it's better for the companies. We'll all live 😂

 

[Theorry]

I missed the general E3 last year. Didnt like the spread out thing.

 

[GooberDooberCBC]

I guess Jeff Grubb's publishers gone rouge has been illuminated a bit.

 

[zombiejames]

Konami, weird.

 

[gitrektali]

No mention of Bandai Namco? I need to see Elden Ring ;-;

 

[Brix]

Interesting.

 

[RK9]

What will capcom be focusing on? Monster Hunter Stories 2?

 

[Deleted member 56266]

They will have a Bandai Namco Next soon for that. It's the digital show name they trademarked.

 

[Dimple]

Back to back Xbox & Bethesda conferences let's go (preferably on Sunday so us Europeans can watch it)

 

[Vault]

i'm guessing Bamco and Square are doing their own events

 

[Deleted member 1003]

I predict it will be the worse one yet, infested with influencers and all the shit they bring.

 

[Aostia82]

wait, so we officially know that Nintendo will have some sort of "E3-Direct"?
Isn't this pretty BIG considering they past 18 months of communication?

 

[Vidiot]

Does this mean we'll get something like a direct one of those days? I want Zelda info.....

 

[Trrzs]

Even if it's digital only, it will be cool to have a lot of announcements condensed in a few days, last year was really sad in this regard. I'm excited for E3 again! Here we go!

 

[Charamiwa]

Lovely news. It's cool to hate on it but there's nothing like E3 week and I'm glad it's back.

 

[Glio]

I don't see any advantage for anyone other than E3 itself in this over independent conferences.

 

[Logan Hardy]

Sony is not there because they are bigger than E3 judging by their last year's social metrics. I mean their future gaming show has 15 million views. Wild.

As long as those are not in the actual presentations, it's fine. Who watches E3 outside of the presentations?

Not really surprising since they pretty much went back to normal since the start of the year.

 

[Mr.Fletcher]

I love E3. Always happy to see it rumbling on.

 

[Jssom]

Nice.

Id love a combined 3+hour mega show from them.

 

[Duxxy3]

Awww yeah. No more 4 month shit show like we had last year.

 

[SchuckyDucky]

Hmm, interesting that Nintendo is there. I would figure they could just do a Direct on their own at the same time. Call me crazy, but this tells me that they might have something big to show that they want more attention on.

 

[Sekiro]

there is no way in high hell Sony's going to remain silent all throughout June and let everyone else take the spolight, especially since were in year 1 of a new gnereation of consoles.

expect them to have a 2020 style event a week before or after E3.

 

[Deleted member 15973]

Nice, PES 2022 at E3 on Unreal Engine. The first AAA sports game to use Unreal Engine.

 

[christocolus]

Capcom, Nintendo, WB games, Ubi, Xbox (XGS/Bethesda)? this will be amazing.. so happy about this. :) Xbox should have enough content to cover 3 E3s though .lol so they"ll definitely still have lots to show even after E3..

 

[hog]

Breath... Of... The... Wild??

 

[OldManLi]

Nice, everything in one place is a lot better then a mess that was last year.
