Rockstar executives and development staff will not be in attendance at E3 in any capacity next week, CVG has learned.
Off the back of intensified speculation that Rockstar will bring to
light its GTA 5 project, CVG has heard from trusted sources that the
company “has no plans for E3″.
It means that hands-on demonstrations of Rockstar games will not take
place, and it is suspected – though not confirmed – that projects such
as GTA 5 and Agent may not be revealed at any of the platform holders’
E3 press conferences.
Rockstar does not, by custom, attend E3 to demonstrate its upcoming games.
This year, however, it was suspected that the company would buck
trends to exhibit Grand Theft Auto 5 – a game with such gravitas among
the games market that the reveal of its logo, in October, sent the
industry into a craze.
Moments after GTA 5 was officially announced, shares in parent
company Take-Two rocketed, with analysts expecting the game would sell
in excess of 20 million copies.
