KONAMI has announced that KONAMI PRESS START will return September 3 at 11:00 a.m. ET. The broadcast will include updates on Silent Hill: Townfall, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, and Rev. NOiR, with streams on YouTube, Twitch, and X.

It’s going to be a busy morning for gaming news. PlayStation’s two back-to-back State of Play broadcasts begin at 9:00 a.m. ET, with State of Play Japan following immediately afterward. KONAMI PRESS START is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. ET, after PlayStation’s two back-to-back broadcasts get underway at 9:00 a.m. ET.

Silent Hill: Townfall arrives September 24, and Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse follows on October 15. Rev. NOiR will get new gameplay footage and video messages from its developers. KONAMI also says some footage will appear only during PRESS START.

Silent Hill: Townfall and Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse Are Both Close to Release

Silent Hill: Townfall will be only three weeks from release when KONAMI PRESS START airs. KONAMI hasn’t said exactly what it plans to share from the game. We don’t know yet if that means gameplay, a new trailer, or another kind of update.

Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse follows on October 15. Castlevania also celebrates its 40th anniversary in September 2026.

Both games already have firm release dates. What KONAMI hasn’t confirmed is how much time either one will receive or exactly what will be shown.

Rev. NOiR Gets New Gameplay and Developer Messages

Rev. NOiR doesn’t have a release date yet, but KONAMI has confirmed what we’ll see on September 3. New gameplay footage will be part of the broadcast.

The segment will also include video messages from the developers. KONAMI hasn’t announced a release date for Rev. NOiR.

The new footage should show more of the RPG in action. For now, there’s still no release window attached to it.

KONAMI PRESS START Begins at 11:00 a.m. ET

KONAMI PRESS START begins September 3 at 8:00 a.m. PDT and 11:00 a.m. ET. The full broadcast will be available through KONAMI’s YouTube, Twitch, and X channels.

Fan restreams are permitted using the hashtag #KonamiPressStart. KONAMI has also set one expectation for Silent Hill fans before the broadcast begins. There won’t be any announcements about a remake of Silent Hill during this edition of PRESS START.

PlayStation starts its two State of Play broadcasts at 9:00 a.m. ET, and KONAMI follows at 11:00 a.m. ET. Set aside the morning if you want to catch both.
