PlayStation is set to host two "State of Play" presentations this Thursday, September 3, beginning at 6:00 a.m. PT / 9:00 a.m. ET. The dual showcases will bring a mix of announcements and updates from both internal studios and external partners.
The first presentation will focus on "updates and announcements from PlayStation Studios and our third-party partners," with a significant portion dedicated to an extended look at Square Enix's Final Fantasy VII Revelation. While not explicitly confirmed, the announcement hints that other upcoming PlayStation titles may also be featured, potentially including games like Wolverine, God of War: Laufey, or Kena: Scars of Kosmora. The possibility of further Grand Theft Auto VI content has also been raised by some observers.
Immediately following the initial State of Play, the second broadcast will mark the return of "State of Play Japan." This showcase will specifically highlight "upcoming games from game studios in Japan and Asia, including new gameplay, announcements, and more." Potential reveals could include new projects from developers such as Atlus, Sega, RGG, or Phantom Blade Zero, which is slated for an October release. The State of Play Japan presentation will be broadcast in Japanese with English subtitles available. Details regarding the duration of each presentation have not yet been provided. Both events will be streamable live on PlayStation's official YouTube and Twitch channels.
