E3 isn’t until June and despite the announcements by Sony and Geoff Keighley about not participating in the event, other companies have since confirmed and will be attending the said show.

Microsoft has confirmed and is ready to take E3 by storm as we’re expecting a ton of Xbox Series X details to be unveiled. ESA has sent out a list of the confirmed publishers and manufacturers and they include the following:

• Microsoft
• Nintendo
• Bethesda
• Ubisoft
• Capcom
• Square Enix
• Sega
• Bandai Namco Entertainment
• Warner Bros. Games
• Take-Two Interactive

We’re expecting more confirmations as the weeks go by leading to E3. Surprisingly missing from the initial list are usual suspects Activision and EA, although EA has it’s own “EA Play” event at around the same time.

Much has been said about the direction and current state of E3 so it’ll be interesting to see how the festivities for this year will change to bring it back to its former glory.

E3 is scheduled to take place on June 9-11.
