E3 2019 is only a few weeks away and is expected to showcase the biggest video games of the year. However, when the floor plan for the upcoming event was revealed, many wondered why Activision was nowhere to be found. Now, the publisher has confirmed that it will not have a booth at E3 2019.

Although Activision will not put up a booth to showcase its games during E3 this year, the publisher confirmed that it will still be present at the event and will be available to talk to the press and attend meetings. Some may remember that Activision did a similar thing in 2016, ahead of the release of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.

Back in those days, Activision heavily relied on press conferences to showcase its upcoming games. Although Sony won't be at E3 2019, Activision likely has outlets for revealing its new titles, including the next Call of Duty game.

In a tweet posted by the official E3 Twitter account, it has been confirmed that the untitled Call of Duty will be featured at the E3 Coliseum event. It is assumed that Activision's move to E3's Coliseum event is due to Sony's confirmed absence this year. Some might wonder why Activision wouldn't use Microsoft's E3 press conference to reveal Call of Duty 2019, but now that the DLC timed exclusivity partnership has shifted to PlayStation, it's hard to imagine going back.

It is also worth remembering that Activision has a lighter than usual roster of games for this year, which is probably why it decided to skip E3's show floor. Activision doesn't have Destiny anymore after letting Bungie take full control of the franchise, and the only major announcement it has right now is Call of Duty and the upcoming launch of Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled.
