Last time Sony put on a State of Play Japan showcase, the biggest announcements were a Japan-specific PS5 console model, and DLC for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/elden_ring_nightreign\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Elden Ring Nightreign<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/gran_turismo_7\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gran Turismo 7<\/a>.
