Konami partners with GameSpot for pre-E3 live stream

Metal Gear publisher Konami announced today that its third annual Pre-E3 Show 2013 will be live-streamed on GameSpot and through the GameSpot TV app on Xbox Live. The show kicks off at 10 a.m. PDT on June 6. A special landing page for the presentation is now live.

Gamers who tune into the show will be briefed on Konami news, game trailers, and exclusive interviews ahead of the 2013 Electronic Entertainment Expo the following week.

Notably, Konami will give an inside look into Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain during the show and will also debut an all-new trailer for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. Behind the scenes footage for the next Pro Evolution Soccer title will also be on hand.

To bolster the reach of the event, CBS television stations in eight markets will air promotions for the show. This marks the first time a gaming company's online news event will be promoted in a nationwide TV ad campaign.

Promos for the Konami event will air on CBS stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Atlanta, Seattle, and Sacramento, as well as through CW stations in San Francisco, Atlanta, and Seattle beginning May 27.

GameSpot is owned by CBS Interactive, a division of CBS Corp.
