The release date of Final Fantasy XVI has been updated on the PlayStation Store. Sony indeed reclassified the release date of the title from "TBC" to "Coming Soon". We can therefore infer that something is moving, and that the next chapter of the final fantasy of Square Enix su PlayStation 5 may have a definitive release date soon.
Final Fantasy XVI was supposed to have like target a release date in 2021, however, the impact of COVID-19, as has happened for many other titles, may have moved it directly to 2022. The game has been in development for some time now, and can be counted on Naoki Yoshida as a producer and on Hiroshi takai as a director. Especially Yoshida had already expressed himself on the release of the game, stating that new information would arrive in due time. The debut trailer shown during the PlayStation Showcase last summer had generated great expectations for the title, especially after the lukewarm reception reserved for the previous chapter of the franchise. Precisely for this reason, however, the manufacturer claimed that the juiciest news will come only at the right time, after having tested the waters among the players, to avoid that someone has different expectations from what the game will actually be at its release.
We also remember that in a trailer released recently by PlayStation Brazil, which shows various exclusives for third-party PS5 consoles, Final Fantasy XVI also appears. At the bottom of the screen, towards the end of the video, it is stated that the game will be exclusive to PS5 "for a limited time", suggesting that the title could arrive later on other platforms as well. At the moment, we only have to refer to rumors and small details, such as today's change of the PlayStation Store. However, we are sure, it is very close to find out when we will finally be able to get our hands on Final Fantasy XVI.
