Sony will not be hosting a press conference at Gamescom this year, despite it being one of the largest gaming exhibitions of the year. Instead, the company has decided to focus its attention on holding a media briefing during the Paris Game Week on October 27th.
“With the changes this year of E3 taking place a week later and Gamescom taking place earlier, we feel that both PlayStation and the wider industry would benefit from a major news milestone later in the year, during the most important period for gaming."
The Paris Game Week takes place just before the important holiday period and Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo will all be looking to build momentum off the back of it.
That said, Gamescom undoubtedly remains one of the largest game shows in the world, with more than 335,000 visitors in 2014 and a similar number expected this year.
