In a press release, Hiroshi Takai, director of Final Fantasy 16, said that the developer has “turned its full attention to debugging and final adjustments,” and publisher Square Enix remains committed to RPG's summer 2023 release window.
While FF16 is the most highly-anticipated title from Square Enix, it's not the only Final Fantasy title the developer is working on. The second installment in the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy, titled Rebirth, is set to release "next winter." Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion will also launch later this year in December, so Final Fantasy fans have a lot of titles to look forward to.
Final Fantasy 16 doesn't have an official release date yet, but it's expected to release for the PlayStation 5, and a Windows PC version is also confirmed to arrive.
