Konami Press Start Showcase on September 3 for Belmont's Curse, Townfall, Rev. Noir

Konami just confirmed what weeks of rumors and absent teaser cadences had been pointing at: a brand new Konami Press Start showcase lands September 3, 2026, at 8:00 AM PDT, and the official Konami Twitter account is already running the broadcast frame. The 30 minute stream will air on YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, and TikTok simultaneously, and it is built around four named projects with at least one more unannounced title parked at the end. Anyone who has watched Konami's recent output knows the publisher has been pacing its reveals carefully, so a dedicated livestream with exclusive footage is more than a routine marketing slot. It is a statement that the Silent Hill revival stack, the Castlevania 2D action return, and a completely new internal IP are all live and ready to be shown together for the first time.

The confirmed lineup on the official Konami Press Start page reads Castlevania Belmont's Curse, SILENT HILL Townfall, Rev. Noir, Project Zircon, and a current lineup eFootball update. Wario64's recap of the broadcast announcement, which uses the official PR copy verbatim, keeps the same order and adds Konami has flagged that no news on a Silent Hill remake is coming. That last clause matters because the community has been waiting on a Silent Hill 2 style remake revival since the Bloober Team work shipped, and every publisher showcase window has dragged a fresh wave of remake rumors with it. Konami explicitly closing that door before the stream is a tactical move, and it tells you the slot is reserved for original content rather than retroactive fanfare.

SILENT HILL Townfall arrives September 24

The headline date inside the showcase is September 24 for SILENT HILL Townfall, the first person horror entry developed by Screen Burn and published by Konami and Annapurna Interactive. Steam app 1636440 already lists September 24 as the launch date and a full gallery of in engine screenshots, so the date is effectively live even if pre orders opened quietly. The PlayStation exclusivity window we flagged earlier in the summer still appears to hold for the console side of the launch, and the community has been treating Richard, the radio contact voiced in the latest trailer, as the story's emotional hinge. Press Start will almost certainly ship a final gameplay beat for him, and that is the kind of reveal that justifies Konami putting Townfall second on the lineup list rather than last.

Castlevania Belmont's Curse targets October 15

Castlevania Belmont's Curse is the slot Konami has framed most aggressively. Steam app 4231820 already exists with a 1920x1080 screenshot gallery and an October 15 street date, which means the game is sitting in the cert pipeline and the broadcast is effectively a launch runway event rather than a soft reveal. Konami's own tweet frames it as the lead, the Castlevania PR account has been posting steadily, and the gameplay stills show classic whip combat rebuilt on what looks like a fresh sprite pipeline. If Press Start sticks the landing on this one, Belmont's Curse is the most plausible candidate for a release date that is announced during the stream rather than dropped ahead of it. A price point and a physical edition confirmation are the obvious gaps left to fill, and either of those would make this a real news beat rather than a trailer reel.

Rev. Noir, Project Zircon, and the And More slot

Rev. Noir is the freshest card on the table. It was originally announced during the February 2026 State of Play, and the conceit is a supernatural disaster called lightfall that kills anyone it touches. Noisy Pixel's recap of the Press Start page reads that framing back without embellishment. Until now the only public material has been one trailer and a name, so Press Start is the first real opportunity to see combat, traversal, or even a release window. Project Zircon sits at zircon.konami.net on the official Konami site, which strongly suggests it is a browser or live service project tied to a Konami online property, and the Press Start slot is almost certainly the first time it gets a release date or an open beta timeline. The And More slot is doing real heavy lifting, and an unannounced third party port or a new Yu-Gi-Oh digital title is precisely the kind of thing Konami likes to slide into a 30 minute broadcast without warning.

Why the 30 minute runtime matters

Press Start running for approximately 30 minutes is not a soft number. That is enough time for two dedicated gameplay segments, a quick sizzle reel for the smaller titles, and a single surprise closer. Konami's broadcast page explicitly warns the stream is intended for mature audiences, which lines up with Townfall's 18 rating in Brazil and the violent trajectory of the Belmont's Curse footage we have already seen. It also explains why a Silent Hill remake is off the table: there is simply not enough runway to dedicate a segment to retrospective content when four original projects are competing for screen time. If you are watching for a single big number, October 15 is the date to circle. If you are watching for surprise, Rev. Noir's first real gameplay is the swing factor that will decide whether this stream lives in the headlines for a week or for a day.
