Konami is joining a busy day of game announcements with a focused digital presentation of its own. The company's Press Start showcase will air on Thursday morning, September 3, shortly after PlayStation's scheduled State of Play, and will concentrate on three titles: Silent Hill: Townfall, Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, and Rev. Noir.
How to Watch Konami Press Start
The presentation is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. PT/11 a.m. ET. Viewers will be able to watch through Konami's official YouTube and Twitch channels. According to the announcement, the broadcast will combine game information with fresh gameplay footage and video messages from the developers. The wording of the announcement suggests that these three games make up the full advertised lineup rather than serving as a preview of a larger slate.
Three Different Games, One Showcase
Silent Hill: Townfall is the closest release, arriving on September 24. It is a first-person adventure from Screenburn, the studio behind Observation. Castlevania: Belmont's Curse follows on October 15 and takes the series in a side-scrolling direction. The project is being developed by Evil Empire, known for Dead Cells. Konami has offered considerably less detail on Rev. Noir. The action RPG was revealed during a PlayStation State of Play in February, is planned as a PlayStation 5 exclusive, and does not yet have a release window.
What the Showcase Will Not Cover
Fans waiting for news about the remake of the original Silent Hill should not expect it during this event. Konami has specifically stated that the remake, which is being produced by Bloober Team, will not be part of the broadcast. That clarification narrows expectations and leaves the showcase centered on the three announced projects. Rev. Noir appears to be the title most likely to benefit from additional information, particularly if Konami decides to provide a clearer indication of when it will launch.
Key points
- Press Start airs September 3 at 8 a.m. PT/11 a.m. ET.
- The event will stream on Konami's YouTube and Twitch channels.
- Silent Hill: Townfall and Castlevania: Belmont's Curse have September and October release dates.
- The original Silent Hill remake will not appear in the presentation.
Confirmed showcase lineup
| Game | Known details | Release information |
|---|---|---|
| Silent Hill: Townfall | First-person adventure by Screenburn | September 24 |
| Castlevania: Belmont's Curse | Side-scrolling game by Evil Empire | October 15 |
| Rev. Noir | Action RPG; planned as a PlayStation 5 exclusive | No release window announced |
Expert View
The presentation signals a compact, release-focused strategy rather than a broad franchise showcase. Townfall and Belmont's Curse already have dates, so their appearances can reinforce momentum close to launch, while Rev. Noir gives Konami an opportunity to address the lineup's biggest information gap. Excluding the Silent Hill remake should also help the company avoid shifting attention away from the three projects it has chosen to promote.
