Sony is dropping its Gamescom media briefing in favour of holding one at Paris Game Week on October 27.

“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,” said the company.

“We are excited about our plans and look forward to sharing some exciting announcements. We will share more information closer to the time.”
