Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has announced that it will not be hosting a press conference at Gamescom this year.
The format holder said that it will instead host an ‘international media briefing’ during the Paris Games Week in October.
"We’re delighted to announce that we will be hosting an international media briefing at Paris Games Week on 27th October," the company said in a statement.
"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. We are excited about our plans and look forward to sharing some exciting announcements. We will share more information closer to the time."
This marks the first Gamescom that Sony has decided to eschew a press conference from its schedule since the event’s 2009 debut.
