    Yes, friends, it’s true: Konami is holding another pre-E3 press conference. This is amazing news. It’s happening on Thursday, May 31 at 10:30 p.m PST and will be streamed live on Konami’s website.

    No details on what the company will actually show, with the press release only teasing “advance showings of the new releases, exclusive game trailers and insightful interviews of key titles.” So, E3 stuff.

    It remains unclear whether Konami knows the real reason people watch their pre-E3 (or during E3, as is the case with the video above) press conference, but we’ve gotten at least one really amazing moment each year, so you, me, and everyone else will be tuning in. What will be this year’s transfarring, this year’s one meeeeeeellion troops?

    It’s a good bet Metal Gear Rising: Revengence will be shown in some capacity, but what about Hideo Kojima’s secretive Project Ogre? What happened to that WayForward-developed Silent Hill game for Vita that was supposed to come out in March? Konami has been teasing out what might very well be a sequel to Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, and details on the Lords of Shadow-connected spin-off on 3DS have started making the rounds.

    If nothing else, we’ll probably get some good tweets from ol’ Tak Fujii. Are you following him on Twitter? You should.

    YES! It wouldn't be E3 if I didn't feel embarrassment for Konami.

    Recorded: Three weeks ago.

    Has anyone heard anything from the Mega64 guys? Will transfarring make a triumphant return?

    I hope it's an actual press conference this time, and not a pre-recorded thing that just goes up at 10:30.

    It's going to be cringe-worthy, because Konami is still a terrible company.

    I wish that wasn't the case, but it is. They are the living worst.

    I was so sad that they pre-taped last years press conference, and I assume they'll do the same this year.

    The 2010 Konami press conference embodied everything that makes E3 incredible.

    I kind of wish that Ubisoft and Konami would just do their E3 conferences together... imagine what Transfarring and whatever Ubisoft does could become.

    The conference two years ago was so bizarre that I don't know how they'd top it. I can only hope it somehow involves Tak Fuji and Mega64 again.

    Perfect timing. I was just looking at my folder of press conference videos from last year, and wondering if Konami would be back. I was just about to search it out, but now I don't have to. Thanks Patrick!

    The biggest shocker they could announce: We know how to make Silent Hill games good again (as a dude violently stares at another man's neck).
