On Thursday, September 3, 2026 , PlayStation will host not one but two broadcasts back-to-back , beginning at 9:00 AM ET / 6:00 AM PT . First up will be a traditional State of Play , featuring new announcements and updates from PlayStation Studios and third-party partners. PlayStation has also confirmed that the presentation will conclude with an extended look at Final Fantasy VII Revelation from Square Enix.

LANTERNS Season 1, Episode 3 Review — Still Enjoying the Journey

Image
Three episodes into LANTERNS , and I'm still really enjoying what this series is doing. Episode 3 continues moving the story forward while giving us more of the characters and mystery that have made these first few weeks enjoyable for me. Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre continue to work really well as Hal Jordan and John Stewart, and I'm enjoying watching their dynamic develop as the season progresses. There is still clearly much more going on beneath the surface, and I'm interested in seeing where everything ultimately leads. Most importantly, I'm having a good time watching this series every week. Episode 1 got things started, Episode 2 kept the momentum going, and Episode 3 gives me another reason to come back next Sunday. Three episodes down.

LANTERNS Season 1, Episode 2 Review — The Journey Is Just Getting Started

Image
Two episodes in, and I continue to be very happy that Lanterns is finally here. Following a strong series premiere, Episode 2 keeps the story moving while giving us more time with these characters and this new corner of the DC Universe. Without getting into spoilers, there is some genuinely good stuff happening here, and I'm becoming increasingly interested in seeing exactly where everything is headed. One of my biggest positives continues to be the central pairing of Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart . Their performances were one of the things that immediately stood out to me in Episode 1, and that continues here. They each bring something different to their Lantern, and that contrast is becoming an important part of what makes the series work for me so far. I also appreciate that Lanterns doesn't feel like it's in a rush. There are mysteries being developed, relationships taking shape and pieces being placed on the board that clearly aren...
