MCV/DEVELOP News, events, research and jobs from the games industry
UK retailers have hailed a ‘momentous’ E3, as the event delivered on the games the industry desperately needed.
Big titles such as Uncharted 4, Zelda, The Division, Dead Island 2 and Quantum Break had all been moved out of 2015 earlier this year, leading stores to tell MCV that E3 had to provide more games to bolster a lean release schedule.
The show saw a number of major announcements, including a fourth Fallout title that will arrive on November 10th, plus huge new releases that will be landing on shelves from as early as August.
We are delighted,” said GAME UK Retail MD Charlotte Knight. The more regular this content the better for GAME and for engaging our community who tell us that they want regular new releases.
It also offers the chance to give each title bespoke marketing campaigns when we do not see a collision of content launches. October and November is traditionally a crowded period, so we completely support earlier releases.”
A leading buyer at a major retailer added: This has been a momentous E3. From August onwards, there’s just a regular stream of great triple-A content. A real win for the games industry.”
