One of the larger reveals from Sony’s final PlayStation Showcase was the debut of Square Enix’s subsequent entry of their famed Final Fantasy franchise, Final Fantasy XVI. The first trailer confirmed off the brand new solid of characters and a number of the gameplay, however one factor it didn’t reveal was the discharge date for the PS5 unique (although it would come to PC in a while). Industry insider Jason Schreier shed some gentle on the game although relating to how lengthy its been in improvement and when it may launch, and it seems I used to be fairly on level with my guess in spite of everything.

Just happening what was mentioned in regards to the game from the preliminary announcement, I had estimated 2022 as the discharge date, although I assumed later within the 12 months. If it does certainly come out earlier in 2022 that might be a pleasant approach to kick off the 12 months, as that might be round a 12 months and a half into the PS5’s lifespan, and would offer a pleasant unique jolt.
2022 additionally is smart since Square Enix mentioned it might be 2021 earlier than we received extra intensive info on the game, so hopefully we cannot have to attend till 2023 and past to take a look at what XVI has in retailer.
Recent Final Fantasy entries have had prolonged improvement cycles, and if 2022 holds that might imply XVI could have been in improvement for round 6 years by then. Hopefully, there are not any important delays, as a result of the early footage regarded unbelievable.
As with most Final Fantasy games, this appears to be a very new world, and we won’t wait to see extra of it. You can take a look at everything you need to know about the game right here, and for all issues Final Fantasy you could find me on Twitter @MattAguilarCB!
