News Final Fantasy XVI ‘Coming Sooner than People Think’ reportedly in development for at least 4 years

Final Fantasy XVI has been in development “for at least four years in some capacity,” according to industry journalist Jason Schreier, speaking on Triple Click’s latest podcast. Schreier credits sources apparently familiar with the game’s production.

And yes, this means Final Fantasy XVI is “coming sooner than people think.” Square Enix has developed a bad habit in recent years of announcing some of its games too soon, but it seems like it won’t be long until we play the next Final Fantasy on PS5.

In fact, what surprised us most about the trailer for Final Fantasy XVI was that it looks like a real game, not a newly formed project that hasn’t gone into production yet. The suggestion is that it is actually quite advanced.

Still, we’re going to have to wait a bit longer to find out more. Square Enix has stated that the next Final Fantasy XVI data dump will occur in 2021.
