So far Blizzard Entertainment will not be at E3 2009, (they also skipped E3 2008) however Activision-Blizzard will present this year. Its somewhat fluffy what it means. There is still a chance for we will see some Diablo 3 news update at E3, but the big news we will have to wait for BlizzCon 2009 in august.
Here is an official statement from Blizzard representative:
“Blizzard Entertainment will not be attending or participating in E3 2009,” Blizzard PR manager Bob Colayco told in an e-mail.
For the past two E3s, organizers had toned down the event, allowing only around 5,000 media and business attendees, as opposed to the tens of thousands that would flock to the L.A. Convention Center in years past. Activision had opted out of E3 2008, electing to hold its own event, but recently confirmed it would be returning this year, when the large, flashy format makes a comeback.
The last time Blizzard attended E3 was in 2007 when the low-key media and business summit was held in Santa Monica.
Blizzard has held its own BlizzCon event since 2005, a decidedly different kind of show that caters to fans as opposed to gaming professionals.
Stay tuned for more update about E3 and Diablo 3.
