We'll keep our eye out for the latest updates. The exact answer is a mystery, but as one of the biggest titles on Square Enix's upcoming catalog, its whereabouts shouldn't be a mystery for too long. With all that in mind, what's happening with Final Fantasy 16? The answer could be that it's being saved for a future PlayStation State of Play event or it's being saved for this year's Tokyo Game Show. This will be co-developed by the folks at Team Ninja, who will inject a much more action-focused formula into the game. Instead, the publisher went in a different direction, revealing a brand new title called Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy. It looked like Square Enix would go heavy on Final Fantasy 16, especially with Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2 looking like it's coming much farther down the road. The game was announced as a PS5 console exclusive, which will also release on PC.

It introduced a brand new storyline, never-before-seen characters, a more medieval style of setting, and more of the action-RPG style of gameplay that was first introduced in Final Fantasy 15. What happened?įinal Fantasy 16 was first unveiled back in September during the PlayStation 5 Showcase livestream for that month. Even though Final Fantasy 16 is one of the publisher's most anticipated titles, it was not present at this show. Because of that, there was an expectation for Final Fantasy 16 to show up during Sunday's Square Enix Presents showcase for E3 2021. Square Enix and Final Fantasy are practically synonymous.
