PS5 architect Mark Cerny will also return to the event - this digital year - to chat with Ken Levine. All talks will be free and live.
The days of non-E3 are long gone and publishers continue to scatter their gaming ads throughout the summer, but with the two next-gen hardware makers playing ping-pong with their console and game presentations, which not many expected was that the most recognizable faces of Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 would coincide in the same event, as soon as next week.
That's right, Gamereactor as an official media has just learned that Microsoft Xbox chieftain Phil Spencer will give the central talk at Gamelab Live 2020 . In a panel that will be broadcast on Wednesday the 24th at 18:00 Spanish Peninsular Time (CEST), the Xbox man will thus capture the spotlight of the event that will be held digitally on June 23, 24 and 25.
>As usual at the prestigious congress, other 'triple-A' speakers will follow, including names such as Mike Pondsmith (Cyberpunk), Tim Schafer (Double Fine) or Amy Hennig (2018 Honor Award and director of Uncharted), among many others. And the organization has also just confirmed that PS5 architect (and Gamelab advisory advisor) Mark Cerny will also join the party, this time alongside none other than BioShock creator Ken Levine.
And the best thing is that this year any fan, player or interested in general can see the conferences live and for free. Gamelab has been held in Barcelona for the last nine years, but this time, given the circumstances due to the COVID-19 crisis, the organization has seen fit to livestream the panels at no cost to anyone who registers for free (with other options payment available for professionals).
Microsoft was said to have an event dedicated to Xbox Series X in July, and both MS and Sony are expected to tell more about their respective consoles in August, but this will undoubtedly be an interesting and surprising stop along the way. What do you think they will say about the new generation?
