I expect details to start pouring in during E3 this year. (Whatever it's called now)
E3 is the media/invite only event
E for All is the fledgling fan conference
Both are getting curb stomped by PAX...

E3 has transitioned to closed door meetings. E for All is the public version of the olf E3, but is very shaky.
PAX is where you want to go....
