The Entertainment Software Association revealed in its announcement for its 2019 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) event that Sony Interactive Entertainment will not attend the event.
Sony confirmed with Game Informer that it will not hold an off-site press conference around E3.
Major game companies such as Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft typically use E3 to share major news about upcoming projects through press conferences.
Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide Studios chairman Shawn Layden commented at the time that the company “wouldn’t have enough to bring people all together” to show for the event.
