Game news Final Fantasy XVI: Big reveal coming soon? A nice surprise revealed
Since its announcement in 2020, Final Fantasy XVI has been particularly discreet. Today, Square Enix seems to want to make amends by unveiling a little surprise to celebrate the series’ 35th anniversary.
Final Fantasy XVI, a production that takes its time
On September 17th, 2020, during a PlayStation Showcase, Final Fantasy XVI surprises everyone with the unveiling of a fantastic trailer that will transport the player to a magnificent medieval universe. However, since this great trailer, information about the title is scarce, despite the various promises and other dates. Additionally, Naoki Yoshida, the game’s producer, is aware of this as he took to Twitter in late 2021 to apologize and announce that the RPG’s development is behind schedule.
When we last spoke I promised that I would have more information on Final Fantasy XVI sometime in 2021. However, I regret to inform you that I cannot keep this promise: Complications due to the COVID-19 pandemic delayed development of the game by almost six months.

Following that announcement, Naoki Yoshida added that we would be entitled to a “big reveal” in Spring 2022.
I’m happy to announce that we are planning our next big reveal for Spring 2022 to build anticipation for the game’s release. Naoki Yoshida
Then radio silence, but for a few hours, there seems to be something new because a new clothing collection has just appeared on the UNIQLO website.
A collection celebrating the 35th anniversary of the saga
In fact, a leak has just revealed that to celebrate the video game series’ 35th anniversary, the brand will be collaborating with the Final Fantasy license to create a whole new line of clothing. this last, available in the picture below and available in stores at the end of April (at least in Vietnam), does it announce a new speech from Square Enix?
Is there a State of Play Final Fantasy XVI coming soon?
We now hope that this new clothing collection is not the long-awaited “big reveal”. was teased by the game’s producer last year, but that it’s there to accompany a much more important announcement that promised: Why not a brand new State of Play entirely dedicated to Final Fantasy XVI in the coming weeks? If the UNIQLO t-shirts are expected later in the month, including the sixteenth episode, we can expect the RPG to be highlighted a few days before. Of course, this is all just speculation. So we just have to keep our fingers crossed…
