More exclusive Final Fantasy

Sony and Square Enix’s deals to keep the Final Fantasy series strongly associated with PlayStation continue in 2023, as Final Fantasy XVI is bringing its dark fantasy twist exclusively to PS5 on June 22. The game follows royal brothers Clive and Joshua Rosfield as they deal with political machinations in the world of Valisthea, which results in the destruction of their home and sends Clive on a quest for revenge through the fantastical land. The game seems to be a final actualization of the series’ shift into an action-RPG series, though it won’t return to Final Fantasy XV’s open-world structure. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the first sequel to Final Fantasy VII Remake, is also set to launch on PS5, but we’ll see if it makes its projected release window of “winter 2023.”
