Update:
Final Fantasy 16 trailer to be released "soon", though it has been delayed

That Final Fantasy XVI is facing the final stages of its development is something that Square Enix has already mentioned in the past. Naoki Yoshida, producer of this installment, has recently reassured this in an interview with Uniqlo. A few days later, the creative has participated in a streaming dedicated to NieR: Re[in]carnation, where he has also made statements about it. According to his own words (translated by Aitaikimochi on Twitter), the trailer should be released soon.

The video is already finished, but some circumstances have prevented the announcement from being made at the scheduled time, so it has been delayed. As for the development of the game itself, Yoshida noted that the development team has been immersed for a long time in polishing the product to eliminate bugs: this process is still ongoing. As it is, the development is practically finished. What he has not revealed is a date or even a more general release window.

News this spring?

In a message sent by Yoshida himself at the end of 2021, the developer said that the intention was to present news in spring 2022. However, he did not specify a more specific date, so we will have to wait until Square Enix decides to make a definitive move. From the beginning, the Japanese producer has maintained a cautious attitude when it comes to providing information, as it does not want to cause expectations that are far from reality or false.

Final Fantasy XVI was announced during one of the PlayStation 5 launch events. After the event, there was some confusion, as the trailer emphasized that the game would also see the light of day on PC. In the end, Square Enix has admitted that it is a temporary exclusive for Sony's next-gen machine.

Final Fantasy celebrates this year its 35th anniversary.
