E3 News: Press Conferences To Look Out For
Check out the livestream schedule for E3.
The biggest conference for video gamers is fast approaching, which means that gamers will soon learn about the upcoming titles.
Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) is an annual convention presented by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA). Video game publishers and accessory manufacturers gather during the event to promote and introduce new products and titles. Attendees of the expo are limited to only those involved in the industry. However, many sources are providing livestreaming of the event for the public. E3 is going to take place this June 14 to 16 at the Los Angeles Convention Center (LACC).
Big companies such as Microsoft, Sony, Ubisoft, EA, Take-Two and Square Enix are expected to hold press conferences during the event. One of the companies that fans are especially looking forward to hear from is Take-Two, which have yet to reveal any details about the upcoming installment of the "Grand Theft Auto" series.
Nevertheless, fans can expect to hear more about what the company is up to. CEO of Take-Two Strauss Zelnick explained that they will be involved in E3 in a big way. He said as quoted by MVC, "We've made no mystery of the fact that Grand Theft Auto Online continues to exceed expectations, and this holiday season was the best period ever, in terms of active users, consumer spending and the revenue from concurrent consumer spending. And that has a positive impact on our results."
Meanwhile, fans can catch the conferences during IGN's livestreams, which will be available on their website and app. It will also be posted on YouTube and Twitch. Below is the schedule for the Pre-Show Conference Time.
