Sony has set two State of Play streams for September 3. The first begins at 6am PT, and State of Play Japan starts immediately after it ends. PlayStation viewers get a back-to-back schedule, but Sony has not said how long either showcase will run.
PlayStation State of Play at 6am PT
The first presentation will include "updates and announcements from PlayStation Studios and our third-party partners," and it closes with an "extended look at the vast world" of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation. That makes the opening stream the one to watch for anyone tracking PlayStation Studios and Square Enix in the same window.
Yuki Kaji returns for Japan and Asia
State of Play Japan will begin as soon as the first show finishes. Yuki Kaji will host it. Sony says the broadcast will "offer deep dives into upcoming games from game studios in Japan and Asia, including new gameplay, announcements, and more."
The same-day plan gives viewers two separate livestreams to follow without a break between them, which means the real scheduling variable is runtime. Sony gave the start times, but not the length of each showcase, so anyone planning to watch live still has to budget the afternoon and evening around an open-ended stream window.
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation and timing
The first State of Play is scheduled for Thursday, September 3, at 9am ET, 3:00pm CEST, and 10:00pm JST. The back-to-back format also lines up the broad first show with a region-specific follow-up, so viewers looking for Japanese and Asia-based projects can stay through the handoff instead of waiting for a separate event later in the week.
The unanswered detail is the runtime for each show, which will determine whether this is a quick double feature or a long livestream block for PlayStation fans.
