KONAMI will broadcast a new PRESS START showcase on September 3, dedicating approximately 30 minutes to three previously announced games. The presentation begins at 11:00 a.m. EDT and will stream live through KONAMI’s official YouTube, Twitch, and X channels. The news was reported by Cgmagonline.
The program will feature new gameplay from SILENT HILL: Townfall and Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, along with a fresh look at Rev.NoiR. Viewers should not expect surprise reveals: KONAMI has said that the showcase will contain no new announcements, and it has specifically ruled out news concerning the remake of SILENT HILL.
How to watch KONAMI PRESS START
The PRESS START broadcast is scheduled for September 3 at 11:00 a.m. EDT. KONAMI will carry the full presentation live across its official YouTube, Twitch, and X channels, giving viewers several ways to follow the approximately 30-minute program.
Rather than introducing additional projects, the showcase will concentrate on games that have already been announced and are in development. Gameplay footage will form part of that coverage, while video messages from the developers will provide further material during the broadcast.
The decision to define the showcase’s scope in advance sets clear expectations. This is a closer examination of three known projects rather than a broader reveal event. In particular, KONAMI’s statement that “there will be no announcements regarding the remake of SILENT HILL” separates that project from the planned Townfall segment.
SILENT HILL: Townfall gameplay leads the lineup
SILENT HILL: Townfall is scheduled for release on September 24, and PRESS START will show new gameplay ahead of that date. The game is set in Northern Europe and places players in a first-person perspective, a change in viewpoint for this new entry.
The story follows a protagonist named Simon as he investigates the mystery of St. Amelia. Simon can defend himself with objects he is able to grab, including wooden planks, while facing the creatures encountered during the investigation.
Those established details give the showcase several concrete areas to demonstrate. The footage can show how exploration works from Simon’s perspective, how improvised weapons function, and how St. Amelia is presented within the Northern European setting. Any conclusions beyond what appears in the broadcast, however, will have to wait until KONAMI provides the footage.
Belmont’s Curse brings the series to 1499 Paris
The second featured game, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, is scheduled for October 15. New gameplay will be presented during PRESS START, offering another look at a title jointly developed by KONAMI, Evil Empire, and Motion Twin.
Belmont’s Curse takes place in Paris in 1499. Its story follows Rose, the daughter of Trevor Belmont, as she confronts monsters overrunning the city and ultimately faces Dracula’s return. The historical setting, new lead character, and development partnership are the central confirmed elements surrounding the project ahead of the showcase.
Because KONAMI has promised gameplay rather than a new announcement, the segment is positioned to expand on how Rose’s journey and the Paris setting work in play. The available fact pack does not specify which areas, enemies, or systems will appear, so those details remain for the presentation itself.
Rev.NoiR returns after its State of Play trailer
Rev.NoiR completes the three-game lineup. The project previously appeared in a brief trailer during Sony’s February 2026 State of Play, and KONAMI now plans to provide a fresh look at it during PRESS START.
The showcase will include gameplay footage and video messages from developers, although the supplied details do not establish exactly how the 30-minute running time will be divided among the three games. For Rev.NoiR, the new appearance is notable simply because its previous public showing was limited to a short trailer.
With no new announcements planned, the September 3 broadcast has a tightly defined purpose: provide updated footage and developer material for SILENT HILL: Townfall, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, and Rev.NoiR. Viewers interested in any of the three can watch through KONAMI’s official channels when the stream begins at 11:00 a.m. EDT.
