E3 Los Angeles

The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) is the most important video game fair in the world, since 1995 an unmissable event for enthusiasts and a fundamental showcase for entertainment giants that attend the kermesse to preview their novelties. The 2019 edition will take place from Tuesday 11 June to Friday 13 June. Historical the absence of Sony that, for the first time, will not participate in the event. So it will be E3 2019 gaming fair without PlayStation. Let’s see what to expect from the upcoming 2019 Edition.

What is E3 2019

Known to everyone as E3, the Electronic Entertainment Expo is the most important video game show of the year which takes place every summer, since 1995. A real crossroads where the great publishers of the industry compete to present their news in gaming, from the new title to the new console. The 2019 edition will take place from Tuesday 11 June to Friday 13 June in the City of Angels. The main players competing for the E3 showcase have always been the Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo trio. If, however, Nintendo has decided in recent years not to attend more physically, relying instead on the direct formula (video streaming presentations), this year Sony has decided to forfeit its focus by focusing on events of its own to announce its news. In that case, there will be space for smaller software houses and for increasingly popular independent productions.

The beginning of the E3

Before E3, many video game publishers showed their products at trade shows such as the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and the European Computer Trade Show.

The first edition of the Electronic Entertainment Expo was conceived by the International Data Group (IDG) and co-founded by the Interactive Digital Software Association (now called the Entertainment Software Association). The convention debuted concurrently with the start of the fifth generation of consoles and featured the Sega Saturn, the announcement of the arrival of PlayStation, the Virtual Boy and the Neo-Geo CD. The specifications for the Nintendo Ultra 64 were also made available (later renamed simply as Nintendo 64), but the hardware was not shown.
