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

Sony has announced the schedule for the upcoming PlayStation State of Play presentations. The first event will take place on Thursday, September 3rd, streaming live in the afternoon across Europe starting at 6am PT / 9am ET / 2pm BST / 3pm CEST. Attendees can anticipate updates and announcements from both PlayStation Studios and third-party developers, culminating in an extended look at Final Fantasy 7 Revelation.

Following the main event, a specialized showcase called State of Play Japan will commence immediately, hosted by Japanese voice actor Yuki Kaji. This segment will concentrate on games originating from Japan and Asia, featuring new gameplay demonstrations, announcements, and other pertinent information. Both showcase events will be accessible on PlayStation's YouTube and Twitch channels, though the duration remains unspecified.

The announcement of this week's State of Play leak surfaced just days ago when reliable insider NateTheHate shared the news on X. While Sony's decision to host a State of Play in September is not unexpected, given their tradition of doing so in recent years, the timing is notably earlier than the last two iterations. This September will also mark Sony's release of Marvel's Wolverine, with the game already garnering significant attention since its launch.

Numerous other titles, such as God of War Laufey, Until Dawn 2, the Ghost of Yotei expansion, and the enigmatic Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, are also slated to receive updates or feature highlights during the upcoming showcase events. Additionally, Sony anticipates the inclusion of indie and mid-tier games that will benefit from exposure in these presentations.
