Final Fantasy XVI Launching Summer 2023
During yesterday’s State of Play, Square Enix announced that Final Fantasy XVI will launch for the PlayStation 5 in Summer of 2023.
According to Naoki Yoshida, Producer, FINAL FANTASY XVI:
“The latest trailer gives players a clearer picture of what actual gameplay will entail. Namely, high-octane battles featuring our protagonist Clive Rosfield wielding a full arsenal of attacks unique to the game’s many Eikons (summons). Not to mention epic clashes between the Eikons themselves that put you right in the action.”Naoki Yoshida
Hiroshi Takai, Director, FINAL FANTASY XVI, added:
“In our latest trailer, we’ve introduced several new Eikons, as well as provided a more detailed peek at our action-packed battle system and the freedom it gives players. As for development progress, I’m happy to announce that the game is fully playable from start to finish; though, from optimization to brush-up, there is still a mountain of challenges to tackle as we head into our final push. Until then, please stay tuned. We’ll do our best to not keep you waiting too long before our next update!”Hiroshi Takai
Yoshida added:
“The team, under direction of Hiroshi Takai, has entered the final leg of development and is focusing on polish as they continue their march toward launch. With the power of the PlayStation®5 console behind us, we’re looking to take you on a seamless, story-driven, white-knuckle ride that will rival even the most thrilling roller-coaster. So, buckle up. The wait is almost over.”Naoki Yoshida
