Sony has confirmed it will host two PlayStation State of Play presentations later this week, offering a deeper look at upcoming games and announcements. The first showcase, scheduled to begin streaming this Thursday, September 3rd at 6:00 AM PT / 9:00 AM ET, promises updates and reveals from PlayStation Studios and third-party partners.

First State of Play to Feature ‘Extended Look’ at Final Fantasy 7 Revelation

Following the initial presentation, a State of Play Japan broadcast will immediately follow, hosted by voice actor Yuki Kaji, known for his roles in Attack on Titan and Octopath Traveler 0. This segment will focus on upcoming games from studios in Japan and Asia, showcasing new gameplay and announcements.

Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet and Marvel’s Wolverine Highlighted

Social media is already buzzing with anticipation for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, a long-awaited sci-fi title from Naughty Dog, which was notably absent from June’s showcase. Marvel’s Wolverine, slated for a PS5 release on September 15th, will also be a key focus, providing an opportunity for Sony to engage potential players.

Continued Pressure on Physical Media Support

Despite Sony’s stated commitment to phasing out physical disc support in January 2028, gaming fans are expected to continue advocating for the preservation of physical games during the presentations. The upcoming State of Play events will likely provide further insight into Sony’s strategy for the future of the PS5.
