In the five years that we have produced the PC Gaming Show during E3 week, alongside our many partners, it's fulfilled our goal for it: To be an event that celebrates the spirit of our favorite hobby. When we started in 2015, I said it was an incredible time to be a PC gamer. That's even more true today. We continue to believe in helping to give our amazing hobby at least one yearly moment when everyone comes together to acknowledge what PC gaming is, and what's coming next.
Given the E3 cancellation announced earlier today by the ESA, we're investigating multiple possibilities for this year's PC Gaming Show. It's encouraging to see that Microsoft and Ubisoft are likewise exploring how they might still put on similar conferences in the absence of a physical expo in Los Angeles.

There's still no release date, but Yu has shared some new screenshots and a progress update via the PlayStation Blog.

Oh, so it's zombies, I thought, disappointed. And then I played more of stylish platformer Shot in the Dark. Yes it is zombies, in the opening area at least, but it doesn't take long for the enemy design to become more and more inventive.
