The tradition on the part of Square (and the current Square Enix) was postponed to the extreme, but what began as a rumor gradually became an open secret and It’s an official announcement: Starting today, Final Fantasy 16 has its own demo on PS5. A playable preview of the next workhorse of the Sony console for a devastating year and that, by the way, an unexpected second demo will open the door.
The essential: ad occurred during the event celebrating the release of Final Fantasy 16, in which all the top managers of the game appeared in one way or another. After the presentations, it became official that the demo will be available in the PS5 digital store from June 12 at 10:00 a.m. in Europe
The demo of Final Fantasy 16 It is also, a playable prologue whose approximate duration is about two hours of play, although Square Enix already anticipates that a good part of those hours are cinematic moments combined with moments of action.
What percentage of cinematics are in the demo? Well, Square Enix heals in health twice:
- Initially it is about the first bars of the game and technically it will not be necessary to play them a second time, since it will be possible to import our progress to the final version of the game, which will arrive on June 22.
- But it is also that, once this aperitif has been played and we have completed it, we will have ahead of us a second demo Focused specifically on the combat system.
As confirmed by Square Enix, once we complete the prologue of Final Fantasy 16 in demo form, we will have access to a Special Battle Demo in which we will be able to test the new battle system created for this installment and acclimatize ourselves to this brave leap towards the ARPG.
That said, and unlike the prologue, in this second demo it will not be possible to import our progress to Final Fantasy 16
Two long-awaited news for the fans that arrive 10 days before launch one of the most anticipated games in the history of PS5 and, in turn, one of the great protagonists of 2023. The best game in the entire saga? What we can already anticipate is that Square Enix is putting all the meat on the grill for its launch. And, to be fair, we expect no less than It is already its new flagship.
