PlayStation announces State of Play for this week featuring "an extended look" at Final Fantasy 7 Revelation
Immediately followed by State of Play Japan, too
A new PlayStation State of Play is airing this week, it's been confirmed, and there's some great news for fans eager to see more of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, because that's exactly what you're getting.
In a PlayStation Blog post shared today, it's revealed that State of Play will return this Thursday, September 3, at 6am PT / 9am ET / 2pm BST. From this, we can expect "updates and announcements from PlayStation Studios and our third-party partners, concluding with an extended look at the vast world of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation from our friends at Square Enix."
After that, we can get ready for a State of Play Japan stream, with "deep dives into upcoming games from game studios in Japan and Asia, including new gameplay, announcements, and more."
It's not been stated how long we can expect these broadcasts to be, although I'm curious about their timing – they're taking place much sooner in the day for those in the US and Europe than State of Play streams usually do (not that I'm complaining, as a UK dweller).
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation being the headliner is no huge surprise either, given that it's set to launch at some point early next year. Otherwise, we've been given no massive indication what games could be set to make appearances – Marvel's Wolverine wouldn't be too surprising given that it's set to launch on September 15, but I'm curious if we could see anything of Naughty Dog's mysterious Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet as we approach two years since its reveal at the 2024 Game Awards.
For now, we'll just have to be patient – there's not long to wait.

I'm GamesRadar+'s Deputy News Editor, working alongside the rest of the news team to deliver cool gaming stories that we love. After spending more hours than I can count filling The University of Sheffield's student newspaper with Pokemon and indie game content, and picking up a degree in Journalism Studies, I started my career at GAMINGbible where I worked as a journalist for over a year and a half. I then became TechRadar Gaming's news writer, where I sourced stories and wrote about all sorts of intriguing topics. In my spare time, you're sure to find me on my Nintendo Switch or PS5 playing through story-driven RPGs like Xenoblade Chronicles and Persona 5 Royal, nuzlocking old Pokemon games, or going for a Victory Royale in Fortnite.
