E3 as we know it may be well and truly done for. Last year Sony threw a wrench into the normal video game news cycle, when they decided to not attend E3 2019, and now we know they won’t be attending in 2020 either. Last week rumors began to swirl that PlayStation was not yet a lock for E3 2020 and may be skipping for a second straight year, and today Sony confirmed the decision via this statement provided to GamesIndustry.biz…

After thorough evaluation SIE has decided not to participate in E3 2020. We have great respect for the ESA as an organization, but we do not feel the vision of E3 2020 is the right venue for what we are focused on this year. We will build upon our global events strategy in 2020 by participating in hundreds of consumer events across the globe. Our focus is on making sure fans feel part of the PlayStation family and have access to play their favorite content. We have a fantastic line up of titles coming to PlayStation 4, and with the upcoming launch of PlayStation 5, we are truly looking forward to a year of celebration with our fans.
