According to Gaming Nexus, Activision will not attend E3 this year, which is scheduled to take place in Los Angeles during July.

"After careful consideration, for business reasons Activision has decided not to participate in any official E3 activities. We wish the ESA best of luck with the show."

You might notice the careful wording here. No "official" E3 activities for Activision? That doesn't rule out some kind of off-site event for the company. Word is, the company plans to host a press event during E3 week, so if true, you can expect some kind of Activision news that week -- regardless of the publisher's absence on the show floor. We've contacted Activision about this possibility and will update when we hear back.
