Sony’s next PlayStation State of Play coming this Thursday, followed by a Japan and Asia-dedicated showcase

Sony has announced two PlayStation State of Play presentations scheduled for Thursday, September 3, 2026. The main showcase begins at 6am PT / 9am ET / 2pm BST / 3pm CEST / 10:00pm JST and will feature updates and announcements from PlayStation Studios alongside third-party developers. The presentation concludes with an extended look at Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, the anticipated single-player remake of the classic RPG.

Immediately following the main State of Play show, a dedicated State of Play Japan presentation will begin, hosted by Japanese voice actors and focusing on games from Japan and the Asian market. This dual-showcase format provides comprehensive coverage of PlayStation’s upcoming releases and initiatives across different regions and audiences.

The timing of these presentations comes shortly before the release of Marvel’s Wolverine, a major PlayStation exclusive title. The back-to-back showcases are expected to provide insights into Sony’s strategic plans for 2027 and beyond, with observers anticipating potential surprise announcements alongside the confirmed extended look at Final Fantasy 7 Revelation. The Japan-specific show reflects PlayStation’s commitment to highlighting regional developers and titles important to Asian markets.
