Sony is set to host a double bill of its State of Play presentations on September 3, 2026. The first broadcast will deliver updates and announcements from PlayStation Studios and its third-party collaborators, culminating in an extended look at "Final Fantasy VII: Revelation," the concluding chapter of the remake trilogy.
Immediately following the initial presentation, a second State of Play, specifically focused on games from Japanese and Asian studios, will commence. This follow-up showcase is expected to feature new gameplay footage and additional announcements.
Leading up to the event, speculation about potential reveals is circulating. While an official "what to expect" article is available, one persistent rumor suggests Naughty Dog's "Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet" might be a significant highlight. The game has been relatively quiet since its announcement, making this State of Play a plausible venue for a substantial update.
Fans are also looking to see if there will be news from other PlayStation Studios that have been less active recently, including Media Molecule, the developer behind "Dreams" and "LittleBigPlanet," and Bend Studio, known for "Days Gone." Questions also linger about the status of Firesprite's "Until Dawn 2" and Haven Studios' "Fairgame," with the latter reportedly still in development despite shifts in Sony's live-service strategy.
Anticipation is also high among fans of Bungie's "Destiny" franchise. Despite the ongoing development of the extraction shooter "Marathon," a significant portion of the audience is vocalizing a desire for news regarding "Destiny 3" or future content for "Destiny 2." However, the current landscape makes a "Destiny 3" greenlight seem unlikely due to the project's potential scope and cost, while the longevity of "Marathon" remains a point of discussion given its current player numbers.
