Final Fantasy 16 is no longer coming in 2022! New trailer, screenshots and information

Of the supposed leak from the Mai was garbage! Sony’s “State of Play” stream on June 2, 2022 actually provided new information and a spectacular trailer for Final Fantasy 16. But the bad news first: The new single-player role-playing game is scheduled to be released in summer 2023. The current gaming year is poorer by a potential cracker.

Dominance trailer features espers and fights

First, let’s check out the new Final Fantasy 16 Dominance trailer. In three minutes, it shows you all kinds of espers like Ifrit, Shiva, Titan or Garuda, i.e. the summonable deities in the world of Final Fantasy. We can also get a glimpse of the combat system.

The domini of Titan and Garuda

The trailer also featured the so-called Domini of Titan and Garuda. In this regard, there was a bunch of additional information from the developers:

“The meteoric rise of the enduring economic adviser Hugo Kupka was sudden, if not unexpected. Once a minor foot soldier in the Republic army, his awakening as the Dominus of the Espers Titan placed him at the forefront of Dhalmek politics. And it was here that he used his newfound position as the most powerful man in the Republic to exert his influence over the nation’s armies and policies, making him personal fortune. And while it is said that nothing is desired in a man who has everything, Benedikta Harman will show him that money and power are far from all the world has to offer.

Benedicta Harman – Dominatrix of Esper Garuda and Warden of the Wind – grew cold-hearted and merciless in her youth, leading her to use her talent for swordplay and cunning for a commando of Waloed’s elite intelligence officers. During a mission to find the elusive second Esper of Fire, she encounters the like-minded Clive and is unintentionally confronted with her past.”
