PlayStation State of Play Returns September 3 — And We’re Getting a Double Feature!

Written by -


PlayStation has officially announced its next State of Play, and we won't have to wait very long.

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.

Then, immediately after the main presentation, State of Play Japan returns.

Hosted once again by Yuki Kaji, State of Play Japan will turn the spotlight on upcoming games from developers across Japan and Asia, with new gameplay, announcements, deeper dives, and more throughout the show.

Needless to say, I’m excited.

State of Play presentations are always fun because you never completely know what PlayStation is going to pull out of a hat. We know a little about what to expect this time, but there is still plenty of room for surprises, and I already have predictions and hopes of my own.

And yes, I’ll be covering the event!

I’ll be hosting my State of Play + State of Play Japan co-stream, where we’ll watch the presentations, react to the announcements, and talk about everything revealed along the way.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Review — Nothing but HIGH PRAISE for Spider-Man: Brand New Day!

Rating: 10/10 — Nothing but the highest possible praise Review note: This article contains no major spoilers for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Few movies arrive carrying the amount of anticipation that surrounded Spider-Man: Brand New Day for me. I followed the buildup, celebrated the announcements, watched the promotional campaign unfold, and counted down the days until I could finally experience Tom Holland’s next adventure as Spider-Man. On July 30, 2026, that long-awaited day finally arrived, and I did not settle for seeing it only once. I first watched the film during a regular Dolby Cinema screening at my local theater. Later that same day, I returned for a second viewing in 3D. By the time both screenings were over, my feelings could not have been clearer: I absolutely loved this movie. Spider-Man: Brand New Day receives nothing but the highest possible praise from me. This is an emotional, visually spectacular, and tremendously entertaining Spider-Man adventure that represents a...

🌋 Avatar: Fire and Ash – A New Elemental Masterpiece Emerges with First Teaser Trailer

Written by -

  Before the lights dimmed for Fantastic Four: The First Steps, an unexpected and electrifying surprise took over the screen: a first-look teaser for James Cameron’s next chapter in the Avatar saga, Avatar: Fire and Ash. And let me just say this up front... it was breathtaking. 🔥 First Impressions: A Teaser That Burns Bright In under two minutes, Avatar: Fire and Ash establishes itself as a visual and emotional powerhouse. This time, the element of fire takes center stage. Gone are the oceans and the reefs from The Way of Water;  instead, we are engulfed in flames, ash storms, scorched jungles, and red-orange sunsets that look ripped out of a dream... or a nightmare. There’s a darker tone here. This doesn’t just look like the next step in the Avatar universe; it feels like an evolution. From what was shown, it’s clear that Cameron is pushing his creative team even further. The rendering of fire alongside motion-captured performances is unlike anything I’ve seen. It’s not...
