Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony skipping Gamescom in favour of Paris Games Week

We are delighted to announce that we will hold an international press conference on the occasion of the Paris Games Week, October 27, 2015.

With the changes taking place dates this year, E3 is holding a week later and GamesCom standing earlier, we believe that both PlayStation and the industry in general, would benefit from a new important moment communication later in the year, when the most important period of activity.

We are delighted with this new plan and look forward to sharing with you new listings on October 27th. 
More information coming soon.

And for those wondering if this new conference means the end of the conference usually organized by Sony at Gamescom, the answer is yes. Contacted by us, Sony France has just confirmed that the only European PlayStation conference of the year will held as part of the Paris Games Week.

I still doubt it. ^^
But if this is true, I won't visit Gamescom and will travel to Paris.
France is a better market for PS Vita than Germany, maybe we will see their new Vita games?

Hopefully this isn't true. Sony generally does better at Gamescom than E3.

I agree, there is no way Sony would skip it

Considering how underwhelming Gamecom is every year this isn't really a bad thing.

I disagree with you on so many levels on that one...... E3 is the best but Gamescom is not far behind



Sony in many ways helped Gamescom being what it is today, so maybe it is good to move on and help build another massive gaming convention.
