THQ, Microsoft, and Activision all confirm a presence at Wembley in March...

Announced back in November, the wheels of motion appear to be spinning faster for Play.com Live, the UK consumer gaming event due to take place in the middle of March.

Today, MCV are reporting that three publishing heavyweights THQ, Microsoft, and Activision have put pen to paper and will be at the Wembley event.

Speaking about the support from the three outfits, Play.com's Head of Games Gian Luzio said, "We're delighted to have three of the biggest companies in games commit to help make Play.com Live the greatest games show the UK has ever seen."

"We've been sworn to secrecy by Microsoft, THQ and Activision as to what their exact plans are, but from what we've been told, there's no way that the crowd is going to go away disappointed."

Additional publishers have also been in contact with the e-tailer to secure their place at the event.
