Sony has announced the next State of Play demo for its upcoming games on PS5. Special showcases will focus on games developed in Japan and throughout Asia. State of Play Japan will be live on November 11th and will feature announcements of upcoming games.
Sony said in a PlayStation Blog announcement that the State of Play Japan demo will last just over 40 minutes. The show will be broadcast live on PlayStation’s YouTube channel on November 11 at 2pm PT, 5pm ET, 11pm CEST (7am JST on November 12th or 3:30am IST on November 12th).
Sony said the show will feature announcements about games developed in Japan and Asia, as well as “other exciting updates.”
“From beloved franchises to unique standalone titles, the show, hosted by voice actor Yuki Kaji, will be packed with exciting games, interviews and exciting new looks at gaming,” the PlayStation parent company said in a blog post.
Sony has announced that the show will highlight updates to popular franchises and indie games on PS5. The show will be available on PlayStation’s YouTube channel with Japanese audio and English subtitles.
What to expect from State of Play Japan
State of Play will focus on Japanese-made games, so people can expect updates for Sony’s Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, a 4v4 team-fighting game developed by Japanese studio Arc System Works. The fighting game was announced at Sony’s State of Play conference in June.
The show may also bring updates for Nioh 3. Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja also revealed Nioh 3 during the State of Play show in June. In the same presentation, Japanese developer Grasshopper Manufacture unveiled Romeo Is Dead, an action game set to launch in 2026 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X. The game may appear again at the Japanese State of Play.
Capcom’s Pragmata and Resident Evil: Requiem may also receive further updates during the show. Both games are scheduled to launch in 2026. PlayStation users are certainly hoping for news of a Bloodborne release on PS5 and PC – either a sequel to Bloodborne or a remaster of the original. However, it’s best not to get your hopes up.
