PlayStation Experience Las Vegas Event 2014: Date, Tickets, Schedule & Livestream - When & Where to Watch Online
On Dec. 6 and 7, Las Vegas welcomes one of this year's biggest gaming community gatherings, the PlayStation Experience. The occasion brings fans together within 400,000 square feet of everything PlayStation -- from multiple platforms, panels and keynotes, wrote the company's official blog.
Since Experience doesn't happen everyday, Sony has prepared a plethora of surprises for PS fans. Visitors of the two-day event will get a preview of PS4-unreleased games such as "Bloodborne," "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End," "Destiny Expansion I: The Dark Below," "Mortal Kombat X," "Batman: Arkham Knight," "PlanetSide 2," "Battlefield Hardline" and "No Man's Sky."
Exclusive developer panels will also be held, providing background information about the gaming industry. Twenty official panels are listed, including "How to Become a Game Designer," "Actors and Their Voices: Casting Characters," "Inside the Dev Studio," "It Came to Japan! Working in the Japanese Game Industry," "Music Magic: How Your Favorite Game Soundtracks are Made" and "The Art of Creating Surprise & Discovery in Games," among others.
Experience also collects developers from the world's most popular publishers such as Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, Capcom, Activision, Warner Bros. Games and Disney.
Visitors may participate in contests, signings and giveaways; merchandise, memorabilia and other activities will also be available in the two-day event.
