The wait is finally over. Naoki Yoshida, Final Fantasy 14 director, and Final Fantasy 16 producer, has presented a new trailer for the upcoming RPG. The trailer shows a lot more of the combat, the characters, but most importantly, the official Final Fantasy 16 release date announcement. Yes, after delays, a long production cycle, and many trailers, we finally have a set date for the upcoming game. While many leaks were pretty close, it is nice to know that the developers are fulfilling the release window. The PS5-exclusive game is set to release in the summer of 2023.
Final Fantasy 16 Official Release Date is set for June 22, 2023
The latest trailer called ‘Revenge’ shows a lot more things about what is coming to Square Enix’s next Final Fantasy title. We can see one of the main characters turning into an Eikon, and some gore is a first for these games. Accompanied by an excellent score, the trailer ends up with a screen showing the official Final Fantasy 16 release announcement. Thankfully, we won’t have to wait too long. With how packed 2023 is with many titles, time will surely fly as we wait for the new entry.
Final Fantasy 16 Won’t Be PS5 Exclusive Forever
Final Fantasy 16 promises to change up the formula of the previous games. The producer has already said there will be more violence than the others. As we can see in the trailer, it seems it is right. Final Fantasy is known to be a series to experiment with many concepts and ideas. Square Enix has even tried its luck in the MMO market, which has paid off quite well. Final Fantasy 14 won two awards tonight, and people were excited to learn of Final Fantasy 16’s release date. You can pre-order the game right now for PS5, and while you’re at it, the PS Store has a Game Awards sale going on too.
