Sony trades Gamescom press conference for Paris Games Week

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe will host an “international press conference” at Paris Games Week this year on October 27, the company announced. And it’s replacing the company’s annual Gamescom media briefing.

Sony Computer Entertainment UK confirmed the lack of a Gamescom press conference to Gematsu following reports from GameBlog and a PlayStation Saudi Arabia marketing executive.

“We’re delighted to announce that we will be hosting an international media briefing at Paris Games Week on 27th October. 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.”
