This time, however, he will be attending as a analyst rather than a presenter. Spike TV’s Geoff Keighley, who has hosted the channel’s E3 “All Access” telecasts for years, has confirmed that Tretton will be a “special correspondent” to the program during Monday, June 9’s marathon coverage of all of the pre-E3 press conferences.
Tretton will be providing his thoughts on all of the major news that comes out of the industry’s biggest news announcing day.
“Since I dropped the mic last year on Spike I thought it was only appropriate to pick it back up for E3 this year,” Tretton said in a statement to Kotaku. “I’ve been to every E3 but this year I’m excited to see the show through a different lens with the team at Spike. I’ll be watching the news and announcements unfold alongside the fans and the rest of the industry, and I can’t wait to see the new games that everyone is bringing to the table.”

Mike’s Musings: I can’t say I’m not interested to hear what Tretton has to say regarding all the news that comes out on June 9. Will he continue to take subtle jabs at what Microsoft does, or will he be 100% objective in his analysis on the news? I guess only time will tell. Remember, FanSided will have full coverage of E3 2014 starting with Microsoft’s conference on Monday June 9 at Noon ET.
