After rumours appeared earlier today, Sony has confirmed a major State of Play with Final Fantasy 7 Revelation.
Sony has officially announced two State of Play presentations will take place this week, and they’ll air back-to-back.
The first showcase, dedicated to ‘updates and announcements from PlayStation Studios and our third party partners’, will begin on Thursday, September 3 at 2pm BST in the UK. This exact date was previously rumoured by Reddit user PitifulPiccolo3010.
As noted on the PlayStation blog, this presentation will conclude with an ‘extended look at the vast world of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation’ – which suggests there won’t be any major surprise reveals if that’s in the closing mic drop spot.
This will be followed by a State of Play Japan, hosted by voice actor Yuki Kaji. This will be focused on ‘deep dives’ into upcoming games from studios in Japan and Asia.

The last State of Play Japan took place in November last year, and featured Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined, Elden Right Nightreign, and Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls.
Both presentations will be streamed live across YouTube and Twitch.

It’s only been a couple of weeks since the dedicated Phantom Blade Zero State of Play, but Sony’s next major presentation could be on the near horizon.
Sony has held a State of Play presentation in September every year since 2022, although the exact date has varied between the start and end of the month.
Naturally, there’s an expectation that another showcase is on the way next month (aka from tomorrow onwards), but it could be closer than we think, based on the word of a reliable insider.
NateTheHate, who has a strong track record for gaming leaks, was asked on X if we should expect a State of Play presentation in September.
‘Working to confirm the date; but a State of Play in September is looking incredibly likely and soon,’ they wrote in response.
Since then, an untested source on Reddit has claimed the State of Play will take place this Thursday, September 3. If that is the case, it should be announced on either Tuesday or Wednesday this week, but since that leaker hasn’t proven themselves yet we wouldn’t book a day off in advance.
