Sony Doubles Up With Back-to-Back PlayStation State of Play Broadcasts This Week
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Sony has announced a double-feature State of Play lineup for this Thursday, featuring a general partner showcase capped with Final Fantasy 7 Revelation alongside a dedicated Japan-focused broadcast.
Sony is shaking up its usual broadcast schedule by confirming two separate PlayStation State of Play presentations for this Thursday, September 3. According to a PlayStation Blog post covered by IGN South Africa, the first showcase will feature updates from PlayStation Studios and third-party partners, culminating in an extended look at Square Enix and the vast world of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation. That initial stream rolls directly into a dedicated State of Play Japan broadcast hosted by voice actor Yuki Kaji, which promises deep dives and fresh gameplay from developers across Japan and Asia.
Community speculation and social feeds are already spinning into high gear around what might pop up during the main event. Players are keeping their fingers crossed for a substantial update on Naughty Dog and its elusive sci-fi project, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, especially after its notable absence from the summer showcases. Meanwhile, Insomniac Games is staring down the barrel of a September 15 release date for Marvel's Wolverine, making this week an ideal final window to pull in any hesitant buyers with a launch trailer or fresh combat deep dive.
Beyond the games themselves, livestream chats are bound to spotlight broader platform frustrations, particularly ongoing community pushback against Sony plans regarding digital-only hardware shifts. Regardless of where you land on the digital versus physical debate, these back-to-back broadcasts give players across console ecosystems plenty of reasons to tune in and see what the rest of the generation holds.
