Today, Sony held a State of Play showcase to talk about upcoming PlayStation 5 games, but this one was a little different. This one was specifically focused on Japan-developed games, as well as projects from other Asian studios. The State of Play Japan showcase was hosted by *Ys *actor Yuki Kaji, and was only streamed in Japanese, even in other territories. It did have English subtitles, though, so if you want to watch the 40-minute presentation, you can do so below. If you just want the highlights, though, we’ve got you covered.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagining

Kicking off the show was Dragon Quest VII Remastered. I don’t know why I was surprised that the trailer was in English. I guess I just assumed the “Japanese audio with English subtitles” extended to the trailers as well. But anyway, we saw a pretty story-heavy trailer of this from-the-ground-up reimagining of Dragon Quest VII. The game is coming out on February 5.

inKONBINI: One Store, Many Stories

Next up is a management sim called inKONBINI: One Store, Many Stories, in which the player runs a corner store. You’ll manage your merchandise, chat with customers, and collect stuff from the vending machines in April 2026.

Coffee Talk Tokyo

The next entry in the coffee shop social simulator series *Coffee Talk *is Coffee Talk Tokyo, which is exactly what it sounds like. You’ll make coffee for patrons in a cyberpunk Tokyo on March 5.

BrokenLore

Two new games in the *BrokenLore *horror series are coming. The first is Unfollow, which is all about the dark side of social media. It’s coming on January 16. The next entry will be called BrokenLore: Ascend, and will have a focus on vertical climbing movement. It will launch next summer.

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly

Sony decided to get a bunch of spooky stuff out of the way at once, as next up is a remake of *Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly *helmed by *Dead or Alive *and *Ninja Gaiden *developer Team Ninja. Yeah, that shit looks as creepy as it did on the PS2. The remake will launch on March 12.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Koei Tecmo also showed off a new DLC for *Dynasty Warriors: Origins *called Visions of Four Heroes. It launches on January 22.

Gran Turismo 7

Oh hey, at least one of the teams under PlayStation Studios is here for the show. Polyphony Digital showed up with the Gran Turismo 7 Power Pack, which will add new racing modes to the game later this year.

Rapid-fire announcements

Next up we saw a few smaller games like MotionRec, a sci-fi puzzle platformer, Wandering Sword, an HD-2D RPG set in ancient China, the PS4 and PS5 release of No Sleep For Kadame Date – AI The Somnium Files, and *Tokyo Xtreme Racer. *

Bandai Namco’s DLC minute

Bandai Namco had a few DLCs to announce for some of its games. First up was Once Upon a Katamari, which is getting two DLC packs with new levels, cosmetics, and music. *Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac *is getting *Sonic the Hedgehog *levels, which are available today. Digimon Story: Time Stranger‘s first DLC includes a new story chapter that adds five new Digimon to the roster, and is coming this winter. Super Robot Wars Y is getting its first collab DLC, which adds characters from Kamen Rider.

Monster Hunter Wilds

*Monster Hunter Wilds *is also getting some DLC. The Free Title Update 4 will launch on December 16, and adds more monsters to hunt and additions to the RPG’s endgame.

Sonic Racing: Crossworlds

Because the crossover slop never ends, *Sonic Racing: Crossworlds *is getting more crossover characters as DLC from Nights and Super Monkey Ball. It’ll also get Tangle and Whisper, some lesser-known *Sonic *characters. Oh yeah, and the Spongebob pack is coming on November 19. Blah.

Never Grave: The Witch and the Curse

Next up is Never Grave: The Witch and the Curse, an action platformer that looks like the kind of thing you’d play if *Hollow Knight: Silksong *just wasn’t enough torment for you. The game will launch on March 5.

Blazblue: Entropy Effect X

I see Arc System Works’ logo and I perk up. The studio is making a new entry in the *Blazblue: Entropy Effect *subseries with Entropy Effect X. The action platformer has the team’s incredible visual flare and looks super challenging. It will launch on February 12.

More rapid fire game updates

Nextt we got another series of bite-sized looks at some smaller games. First up is twin-stick shooter/platformer Damon and Baby, followed by a new Prinny-infested action RPG from the *Disgaea *team called Kyouran Makaism. Fate Trigger, a fast-paced hero shooter featuring ten distinct playable characters, wrapped up the segment.

Octopath Traveler 0

Damn. The host mentioned a beloved Square Enix series and my *Kingdom Hearts *copium started up. But no, instead we got a new look at Octopath Traveler 0. It sure looks like one of those! Square Enix has released a demo that will allow you to carry over your saved data to the main game when it launches on December 4.

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls

Now that’s the Arc System Works game I wanted to see. The studio’s upcoming *Marvel *game is putting an anime fighter spin on the comic book icons. *Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls *is getting a new beta test that will include new stages and add Spider-Man and Ghost Rider as playable characters. The test will take place from December 5 to 7.

Elden Ring Nightreign

Bandai Namco wasn’t done with DLC, actually. *Elden Ring Nightreign *got its own special little segment for its *The Forsaken Hollows *expansion. If you and your friends are ready to head back into The Lands Between, you can do so December 4.

Oh, that was the end? Alrighty then. RIP to the *Kingdom Hearts *fans who were holding their breath. We’ll do this whole song and dance again at The Game Awards.
