"The State of Play Japan stream will take place tomorrow, November 11, at 2 p.m. PT / 5 p.m. ET / 11 p.m. CEST, and will be hosted by Japanese voice actor Yuki Kaji, known for his roles in the and Final Fantasy series overseas. According to a post on the PlayStation Blog , the 40-minute show will focus on games from developers in Japan, as well as Asian studios more broadly, and will have a spread of both "beloved series" and independent projects. Sometimes, when companies put on streams like a State of Play or a Nintendo Direct, Japan will get a different version than the one we see in English-speaking territories, but it sounds like this show will be the same across Japanese and English streams. The show will be featured on PlayStation's YouTube channel."
"The blog doesn't get into any specifics about what games will be shown, but Kaji hosting does make me wonder if we might hear more about the next game. Ys X: Proud Nordics , an enhanced port of the original , was released earlier this year on Switch 2, so perhaps it might come to the PS5 when it launches in English next year. Or maybe a new could be on its way? But that's just me speculating. Unfortunately, based on the show's premise, we might not hear much from PlayStation's internal studios because most of its first-party dev teams are based outside of Japan these days ever since Sony shuttered Japan Studio. Team Asobi operates out of Tokyo, but given that it just launched Astro Bot last year, it's probably too early for that team to deliver anything."
Sony will hold a 40-minute Japan-focused State of Play on November 11, streamed in Japanese with English subtitles. The show will spotlight upcoming PlayStation 5 games from developers in Japan and other Asian studios, featuring both beloved series and independent projects. Yuki Kaji will host the stream. The presentation will be available on PlayStation's YouTube channel. No specific game reveals have been confirmed. Speculation includes a potential PS5 appearance for Ys X: Proud Nordics or a new Ys title. First-party PlayStation studios are largely based outside Japan, so internal representation may be limited; Team Asobi is unlikely to present new work.
