Sony Interactive Entertainment not participating in E3 2019

In an interview with Game Informer, Sony Interactive Entertainment has stated that they will not be participating in next year’s E3 as they are “exploring new and familiar ways to engage the community in 2019”. In the interview they stated that, "We are 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." The company also clarified that they will not be holding any press conferences around E3.

This news comes in light of the fact that we are entering the 25-year anniversary of the PlayStation, with games like the Final Fantasy 7 remake, Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding and The Last of Us Part 2 in the pipeline, Sony has a big year ahead of them.
