Final Fantasy 16 is the first new Final Fantasy installment in Square Enix's long-running JRPG franchise since 2016's Final Fantasy 15. As expected, a lot of fans are eager to find out more about the game, specifically, when it will be released. Unfortunately, Square Enix had some bad news for Final Fantasy fans as it just confirmed that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has forced the publisher to delay the game as well as its next big reveal.
Fans probably shouldn't expect Final Fantasy XVI until 2023
Final Fantasy 16 was first announced back in September 2020 at a PS5 showcase. Since then, Square Enix has talked sparingly about the upcoming game. After promising more details about FF16 this year, fans were left wondering about the status of the project. Thankfully, Square Enix has finally broken its silence about FF16.
