Ubisoft and Devolver Digital could play alternative streams at E3 2020

Yesterday we first communicated the sad news regarding the cancellation of E3 2020 due to the epidemic from Coronavirus and, later, Phil Spencer's statement that let the general public know how Microsoft products will however hold a streaming event dedicated to Xbox as an alternative to the Los Angeles demonstration. As they had widely predicted, other software houses have now chosen to support this initiative, releasing as many press releases announcing their respective changes in progress.

Ubisoft e Devolver Digital are the subsequent companies that have joined the decision not to completely abandon an event and such an important period for the videogame market but to find a solution just like Microsoft did. Ubisoft, through a tweet, he announced that he is considering the hypothesis of proposing a digital experience that allows everyone to participate in the planned news:

Same goes for Devolver Digital who has chosen to create a livestream for all their content to show:

The week of E3 has always been a big part of what we do and are genuinely bummed about the cancellation of the event itself.

Lots to juggle but right now we plan on having a livestream Devolver Direct / press conference and possibly more. pic.twitter.com/nGDAEsIzUs

In short, although this E3 2020 has been canceled, the software houses are trying to remedy somehow by proposing what in fact some companies have been doing for years (Nintendo for example with his own Nintendo Direct). This year will certainly be a different year from the usual past years, no conventions, no demo to try out in preview or other similar things, however the companies are not with their hands and the chances that the streaming list gets even longer. remains highly plausible.
