Konami Press Start 2026 Will Show Silent Hill: Townfall, Castlevania and Rev. NOiR — Here's What's Confirmed
Konami Press Start airs September 3, with Silent Hill: Townfall, Castlevania: Belmont's Curse and Rev. NOiR confirmed. Here's the exact time, where to watch, and what Konami has explicitly ruled out.

Konami Press Start airs September 3 at 11:00 a.m. ET / 8:00 a.m. PT / 4:00 p.m. BST / 5:00 p.m. CEST, which lands at September 4, 00:00 JST in Konami’s home market. The broadcast is expected to run about 30 minutes, and Konami’s own event page lists YouTube, Twitch, Facebook and TikTok as official ways to watch — Konami has also posted separate English and Japanese YouTube streams.
Three games are already confirmed
Konami has named Silent Hill: Townfall, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse and Rev. NOiR as the highlighted games for the show, alongside eFootball: Kick-Off! and Project Zircoin. Konami’s own wording is that the lineup “includes” these titles, not that this is the full show — treat the list as confirmed, not exhaustive, and don’t assume every named game gets a release-date announcement or an equal amount of screen time. Konami says the program will mix new gameplay footage with video messages from the games’ creators and development teams.
What’s already known about Townfall and Belmont’s Curse
Two of the three highlighted games already have release dates, so don’t expect the showcase to be revealing those for the first time. Silent Hill: Townfall launches September 24, 2026 on PS5, Steam and the Epic Games Store. Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse launches October 15, 2026 — and its platform list has actually grown since its original reveal: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, Steam, and, per Konami’s more recent confirmation, Nintendo Switch on the same day rather than a delayed port.

That means the useful news value from this show for those two games is more likely to be new footage, mechanics or story detail than a first-time date reveal.
Rev. NOiR is the real wildcard
Rev. NOiR is the one confirmed game without a release date. Konami revealed it as a new action RPG for PS5 back in February, developed with ILCA and produced by Nobuki Kadoi, and nothing about its platform list or timing has changed publicly since. Because it’s the least-detailed of the three, it’s the game most likely to actually deliver something new on September 3 rather than an update on facts already out there.
What Konami has ruled out
Konami has been explicit about one thing it won’t be doing: there will be no announcement regarding the Silent Hill remake during this broadcast. That’s a specific statement about the remake project — it doesn’t mean no Silent Hill news at all, since Townfall itself is a confirmed part of the lineup. Beyond that one ruling-out, Konami hasn’t confirmed or teased Metal Gear Solid news, surprise titles, another Castlevania collection, new dates for every game in the show, or an unannounced franchise reveal. Anything along those lines is speculation, not something Konami has promised.
The confirmed-vs-known-vs-ruled-out breakdown
| Status | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Confirmed | Sept 3 broadcast, ~30 minutes, Silent Hill: Townfall / Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse / Rev. NOiR highlighted, new footage and developer messages |
| Already known | Townfall’s Sept 24 date and platforms; Belmont’s Curse’s Oct 15 date and platforms |
| Not confirmed | Surprise games, Metal Gear Solid news, guaranteed new dates for every title |
| Ruled out | Any announcement about the Silent Hill remake |
