Final Fantasy XVI's Next Big Reveal Will Be Spring 2022, GamersRD

Today, the official The Game Awards Twitter account announced that we can expect news about Final Fantasy XVI during the event.

Producer Naoki Yoshida (who you may also know as the producer and director of Final Fantasy XIV) himself will be on stage for a special live performance.

At the moment, the content of the presentation remains a mystery, but considering that the game is almost complete (as revealed by Yoshida-san himself a few weeks ago), it is likely that Square Enix is ​​ready to provide an extensive look. to what we can suppose.

Whether a release date can be announced remains to be seen, as Final Fantasy XVI only has a generic summer 2023 release window for PS5 for now. Yoshida-san expressed confidence in pulling it off, so having a precise release date half a year before the game’s release doesn’t seem out of the question. We’ll have to wait and see.

The game promises a much darker atmosphere compared to your usual Final Fantasy gameplay, as you can see in the latest trailer. It is set in the kingdom of Valisthea and comes with a rich cast of characters including Dominants, men and women who can wield great power. Of course, long-standing elements found in the final fantasy series, like summons and chocobos, will still be around despite the slight change in tone.

Final Fantasy XIV fans may want to pay attention, as many of the top developers of Square Enix’s popular MMORPG are involved in addition to Naoki Yoshida himself. Among them are composer Masayoshi Soken, director Hiroshi Takai, combat director Ryota Suzuki, and many more.
