Summary
Konamihas officially announced its upcoming summer showcase - Press Start - which is set to take place in the coming days. The livestream promises fresh updates on some ofKonami’smost highly-anticipated upcoming projects, and could potentially reveal even more.
Summer is often a big time for game announcements, and the past week has been no different to this trend. Major events like PlayStation’s June State of Play, Summer Game Fest, and the 2025 Xbox Games Showcase aired in the last few days and shed light on a slew of brand-new games, includingCapcom’s long-awaitedResident Evil Requiem. Although Konami debuted new trailers forMetal Gear Solid Delta: Snake EaterandSilent Hill fduring these broadcasts, the Japanese company looks to have more plans for both games.
Konami recently announced that it will host alivestream dubbed Press Start on June 12. The broadcast will be headlined byMetal Gear Solid Delta: Snake EaterandSilent Hill f, and is expected to run for around 37 minutes. Unsurprisingly, Konami has teased additional announcements beyond the two confirmed games, but only time will tell what these are. Those excited tolearn Hill fandMetal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater- and any other games Konami could reveal - can tune into the Press Start livestream across YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook this Thursday at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 3 PM CET.
When Will the Konami Press Start Livestream Air?
Naturally, speculation about Konami’s mystery announcements at Press Start has already commenced. A popular contender is thelong-rumoredBorn from a WishDLC for theSilent Hill 2remake, which wasn’t part of the original PS2 release but appeared in later editions of the game. Some are also hoping for a potential Xbox version of theSilent Hill 2remake, but this most likely won’t be announced before the game’s one-year PS5 console exclusivity period concludes on July 15, 2025.
Others are calling for a wider release ofYu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection, which is currently available only on Nintendo Switch and Steam, and there’s even talk of a newCastlevaniaorBombermanproject possibly making an appearance during Konami’s Press Start livestream. Interestingly, it was rumored a few months ago that anew AAACastlevaniagame could be announced in 2025, and it’d likely be a fantastic show-closer for Press Start. Speculation and optimism aside, Konami looks primed for a bull run in the latter half of the year, thanks toMetal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater’s August 28 launch on andSilent Hill fcoming shortly after on September 25.
