Some of these companies will hold presentations showing their latest games to the public, and of course there will be important announcements and surprises. For a list of the titles that we could see during the event, however, we refer you to the special special that will arrive shortly.

In case you are wondering, Sony will not be in the game this year either: the house Japanese has long since decided to leave the stage in Los Angeles, preferring to organize their own events.

Everything is to understand when we will see the next State of Play: maybe in June, and maybe it will finally allow us to take a new look at Horizon Forbidden West (update: it will be May 27th!) and God of War 2. On the other hand, Konami is justified absent, which apparently is dedicating itself to some key projects.
