The annual Game Developers Conference is just on the horizon and people throughout the industry are already discussing what could possibly be happening at the San Francisco-hosted event. The one with the most chatter currently circulates around Google and the possibility of the rumored console officially debuting.
As we already know, there is some sort of hardware already in the works according to sources from Kotaku back in June. With many hoping this could possibly be a new alternative to either Sony or Microsoft’s platforms, that doesn’t seem to be the case. As it was already discussed that the could-be system will focus primarily on streaming and won’t hold much power over the more beefed up PlayStation Pro or Xbox One X.
More recently, it was announced via Twitter that both Ubisoft as well as Bethesda’s id Software will be present alongside Google for their approaching presentation at the upcoming convention.

This will answer half of the rumors that was released last week surrounding Google’s presence at this year’s GDC. The other and more unlikely rumor that still has yet to be debunked is the chances of Sega playing a major role in creating titles for the tech giant’s unannounced console. With Ubisoft already being involved with Google through Project Stream, their chances for the publisher to be present were pretty high.
On top of the two companies to be standing on stage along with Google, two industry veterans will be special guests for the tech company for the forthcoming presentation. Revealing that both Amy Hennig, former Naughty Dog & now EA, and Crystal Dynamics’ Raph Koster who currently worked on Tomb Raider and the lesser detailed Avengers title.
And now this …
Very special guests join our #GoogleGDC19 Developer Day session! Who? @amy_hennig, @CrystalDynamics and @raphkoster. Join us for an awesome panel on March 19 at 3 PM PT in West Hall, Room 2011.
