Sony plans to showcase over 40 games at E3

Sony is planning to showcase over 40 games across PS4, PS3 and Vita at E3 next week, according to a PlayStation Blog post. The platform holder will kick off proceedings with its press conference, which will be livestreamed from Monday June 10 in the US at 5:30pm Pacific/8:30pm Eastern (that’s Tuesday morning in Europe at 1.30am BST/2.30am CET). Perhaps most interestingly, we’ll find out more about PS4 and actually get to see the hardware itself, if a recent teaser video is anything to go by.

Following its conference, Sony plans to run special livestreamed events for three days, with each show featuring a mixture of gameplay demos and developer interviews for upcoming titles. The company said to expect to see the likes of Destiny, Beyond: Two Souls, DriveClub, The Evil Within, Gran Turismo 6, Killzone: Shadow Fall and Tearaway, plus “many, many more”. A teaser trailer for the conference can be viewed above.
