Konami Press Start Showcase Announced, Expect News, Updates And "Exclusive Footage"

Such a split between a live stream and a formal broadcast is uncommon for a single showcase, prompting fans to track both dates. The announcement first appeared in a Saiga NAK bulletin that the program will air globally, promising the latest information on Silent Hill and other franchises.

Nintendo Life echoed the news, highlighting expectations of exclusive footage. Gematsu added that the September 3 stream will feature demos of Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, Silent Hill: Townfall, and Rev. NOiR among the demos, reinforcing the focus on revived franchises. Coverage soon broadened to the wider Tokyo Game Show slate.

Siliconera listed Konami’s lineup alongside Castlevania, Silent Hill and Suikoden, while Inven Global noted Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance will be playable for the first time at TGS, and GoNintendo detailed Capcom’s spotlight set for September 16. Saiga NAK mentioned DMM GAMES’ demo of Touken Ranbu Puzzlegiri and Happinet’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 exhibit, illustrating the event’s diversity. At present the Press Start showcase is set to stream on September 3, with a broadcast version slated for September 4. The confirmed titles – Castlevania, Silent Hill, Rev.
