Sony Will Be Present At Gamescom And The Tokyo Game Show

Sony’s absence at E3 this year has been felt very much in the gaming industry. Although for many the choice was clever. In fact, the Tokyo home did make its presence felt with its pre-E3 State of Play. Apparently, the giant’s move could be to reinforce its conferences to turn them into real Direct, similar to Nintendo.

Journey to the Savage Planet was one of the surprises of E3 2019, where its self-described “earnest comedy” charmed nearly everyone who got to lay their hands on it at 505 Games’s meeting rooms. After spending an hour exploring the world of Journey to the Savage Planet, I sat down for a short chat with
