Final Fantasy XVI News Coming Spring 2022

Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida took to Twitter for an announcement regarding the game’s development. Yoshida explained how news about the title had been delayed due to COVID-19 problems, and that remote work could have adverse effects on the game development pipeline.

Given that the year is almost over, the fact that this news drop fell out of 2021 shouldn’t be very surprising, and many, many games the world over have been delayed or impacted by COVID-19 in various capacities. The entire message can be viewed in this tweet!

Final Fantasy XVI has big expectations behind it, as does any numbered title in the mainline Final Fantasy series, and what we’ve seen so far has been brief. We do know it is supposed to feature an “expansive” skill tree. While there’s plenty to dig into if you want to hyper analyze small bits of trailer footage, a proper information drop has yet to occur. We’ll see what the new year brings for Final Fantasy XVI! Is Final Fantasy XVI likely to be launched in 2022, or do you believe otherwise? Or perhaps a more popular question, which game do you think will end up arriving first – Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2 or Final Fantasy XVI? We’d love to hear from you in the comments
