Blizzard, Predictably, Won’t Be At E3 2012
In a move that shouldn’t surprise anybody, Blizzard will not have any presence at this years’ E3 as they haven’t gone to the LA convention in five years. Even though this is not surprising, they also cancelled this year’s Blizzcon, in lieu of hosting a SC2 tournament. In spite of both of these announcements although, they will have a presence at Gamescom 2012 in Germany.
Whilst disappointing, it makes sense that Blizzard is opting out of two significant conventions. With Diablo three and Mists of Pandaria coming out by the finish of the year, Blizzard actually doesn’t have much, apart from Heart of the Swarm and Titan, the leaked MMO, on their plate—not enough to carry an entire convention at least.
THQ Won’t Have a Big Presence at Upcoming Game Conventions
In light of recent economic woes, publisher THQ has announced a drastically lowered presence at this year’s upcoming video game conventions – most notably, E3 2012 in Los Angeles, and Gamescom in Germany. Convention booths are all about spectacle, and that spectacle can end up costing lots of income – cash that THQ cannot afford to invest these days.
That is not to say they’ll be entirely absent from these events, nonetheless. At least in E3’s case, THQ has stated “We will be displaying games to the E3 judges at their event coming up, and we’ll be hosting a press and enterprise center at the show for meetings (as effectively as participating with initial party activities),” and that “we will be there to assistance our portfolio and the show itself.”
So we can nevertheless anticipate to understand far more about games like Darksiders 2, maybe the not too long ago announced Organization of Heroes 2, and if we’re lucky, perhaps even the lengthy dormant Devil’s Third. Perhaps we’ll even gets some news on inSane, THQ’s collaboration with Guillermo del Toro, even though reports recommend it may have been canned. In any case, we’ll see THQ at E3 soon enough, just not with their usual flair and spectacle.

Sony Laptop or computer Entertainment Japan, Comcept, and Marvelous AQL have not yet decided upon whether or not they will localize their new PlayStation Vita action fantasy title Soul Sacrifice, according to Comcept boss Keiji Inafune.
Asked by 4Gamer.net whether or not they have plans for overseas PR at E3 this year, Inafune responded:
