Get ready for a double dose of gaming goodness as Sony's September 2026 State of Play is set to deliver a bang-up show. On September 3rd, the gaming world will be treated to two back-to-back showcases, a regular State of Play and a dedicated State of Play Japan, both streaming live at 6 am PT / 9 am ET / 3 pm CEST / 10 pm JST. This marks the second and third State of Play of the year, following the June event that introduced us to the bloody Wolverine and the first glimpse of God of War Laufey. IGN will be your go-to source for all the action, with live streams on their website and social media channels, as well as a handy app for iOS and Android users. So, what can we expect from this highly anticipated event? Well, Sony has hinted at classic "updates and announcements from PlayStation Studios and our third-party partners," with an extended look at Final Fantasy VII Revelation, and perhaps a final glimpse of Marvel's Wolverine before its release later this month. But that's not all! Rumors swirl around other potential reveals, including God of War Laufey, Ghost of Yotei DLC, Kingdom Hearts 4, Control Resonant, Star Wars: Galactic Racer, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, and Resident Evil: Veronica. And what about Naughty Dog's Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, which was notably absent from the June State of Play? With performance capture recently completed, fans are eagerly awaiting its potential appearance. However, Sony's recent legal troubles regarding digital game ownership and the phase-out of physical games by 2028 might spark some heated discussions during the stream. The chat will be buzzing with passionate gamers, as evidenced by the recent Phantom Blade Zero stream, where the planned PlayStation boycott dominated the conversation. So, mark your calendars, grab your snacks, and get ready for an exciting September State of Play, packed with surprises and gaming goodness!
