Square Enix has dropped a surprise reveal for Final Fantasy XVI, complete with a lengthy announcement trailer.
Final Fantasy XVI will be a PS5 console exclusive, however, no confirmed date or year has been set as of yet. The game will also be the first mainline Final Fantasy game to be exclusive to a PlayStation console since 2006’s Final Fantasy XII.
The accompanying announcement trailer, titled ‘Awakening’, is a mixture of both real-time battles and cutscenes, running on a PC emulating PS5 hardware. The setting seemingly invokes a medieval theme, complete with large scale battles, vibrant landscapes and fast-paced combat.

“And though we’re pouring our hearts and souls into this project each and every day, it may still be some time before we can get it into your hands. However, I promise it will be worth the wait!” Naoki Yoshida, producer of the game also stated that the “next big information reveal is scheduled for 2021.”
