Based on the latest news Cloud Imperium Games probably won't have anyone physically at the event, just a video to display, unless Chris Roberts returns from the UK early.

Nice. Blizzard is a given since WoW and Starcraft are PC-only and Diablo is mainly a PC franchise. Interesting to see Square Enix on the list, I assume it's mainly the Eidos subsidiary of Square Enix that will be involved. Eidos and the related studios have had great relations with AMD in recent years, with a lot of their games being given the Gaming Evolved brand and demoing new tech from AMD (ie TressFX in Tomb Raider).

I have some high hopes for this press event. I'm a bit skeptical that AMD and PC Gamer have the resources or drive to make a press event to rival the big 3 console makers' press events, but I'm looking forward to this nonetheless.
