Final Fantasy XVI: according to Schreier "it will arrive sooner than we think"

After showing up last September 16th on the occasion of PlayStation 5 Showcase, in the past few hours interesting details have emerged regarding the brand new Final Fantasy XVI by Square Enix. According to what was reported on the well-known videogame forum ResetEra, and confirmed by the well-known industry journalist Jason Schreier in the latest Triple Click podcast, the new chapter of the famous series of the Japanese giant would be in development “for at least four years“.

Therefore, it would seem that unlike previous branded projects Square Enix, announced all too soon before seeing the light on consoles, "will arrive sooner than we think". The full-bodied clip shown at the event PS5 literally surprised fans, as the latter not only featured the title for the first time, but showed real-time in-game battles and scenes, representing only a fraction of what Creative Business Unit III managed to get from the new Final Fantasy. Furthermore, according to the recent words of the Director of the game, Hiroshi takai, the team faced countless challenges, from adapting to a new development environment to the undiscovered mechanics of PlayStation 5.

Looking forward to find out more details about the new Final Fantasy XVI, which according to the company will be released only in 2021, you can find the spectacular "awakening trailer”Shown on the virtual stage of the PlayStation 5 Showcase last September 16th.
