    could occur during Gamescom.
  • The possibility of FF16 coming to Xbox Series X/S also exists as Square Enix pursues multiplatform strategies.

As a die-hard fan who has been eagerly waiting for the release of “Final Fantasy 16” since its initial announcement, I can hardly contain my excitement! The hints dropped by Stewart Clarke, the voice actor behind Dio Lesage, have sent me into overdrive. The possibility of a PC port and even an Xbox Series X/S version has my imagination running wild!

It’s expected that news about the upcoming game “Final Fantasy 16” might be shared during Gamescom, which starts on August 20. This convention is a significant gaming event in Germany, and there’s a possibility that the release date for the PC version of “Final Fantasy 16” could be unveiled at this time, as suggested by a voice actor involved in the production of the major RPG.

In 2023, the game “Final Fantasy 16” was exclusively launched for PlayStation 5. Despite some criticisms over its action-oriented gameplay at launch, the majority of critics praised it, awarding it an 88 out of 100 on Open Critic.

Currently, Stewart Clarke, the voice actor for Dio Lesage in Final Fantasy 16, has hinted at the game’s possible appearance at Gamescom through his social media posts, expressing his excitement for this year’s event. Gamescom takes place from August 21 to 25, and an online showcase called Gamescom’s Opening Night Live 2024 will be held a day earlier on August 20. Historically, numerous new games have been announced during this online event, leading fans to speculate that a potential PC release of Final Fantasy 16 might be unveiled with a release date then.

As a longtime gamer and avid fan of the Final Fantasy series, I’ve eagerly anticipated the release of Final Fantasy XVI for quite some time now. Given my history with the franchise, I have high expectations for this latest installment. A few clues suggest that a PC version may be announced during the upcoming event.

There’s a possibility that “Final Fantasy 16” might be made available on Xbox as well. While Square Enix hasn’t confirmed the port yet, producer Naoki Yoshida has dropped hints suggesting that “Final Fantasy 16” could potentially expand to other platforms, most likely including the Xbox Series X/S. However, it remains uncertain whether this multi-platform release is at an advanced stage of development or not.

Although it’s important to approach speculation about titles like Final Fantasy 16 being released on Xbox Series X/S with some skepticism, it aligns with Square Enix’s recent strategic shifts. Back in May, Square Enix announced their intention to explore multiplatform releases, moving away from their exclusive focus on the PS5. This change might have been prompted by financial reports indicating that games like Final Fantasy 16 and the latest Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth did not sell as strongly as multiplatform titles such as Final Fantasy 15. Therefore, fans should probably wait for Gamescom to learn more about the future of FF16.
