Square Enix reportedly wants to sell stakes in remaining studios

Meanwhile, Creative Business Unit II and IV handle other JRPG titles. Square Enix also owns other studios like Luminous Productions, which is behind next year's Forspoken, as well as Tokyo RPG Factory, among others.

If Sony ends up getting part or full ownership of Creative Business Unit I, the tech giant will guarantee the exclusivity of mainline Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts games on the PS5 for the foreseeable future. Of course, since Sony also owns a sizable stake in Epic Games, so we wouldn't be surprised if they end up making their way to the PC anyway as Epic Games exclusive releases a year after coming out on the PS5.

Regardless of what happens, we're excited to find out more about what Square Enix has in store for its Japanese subsidiaries.

Speaking of, JRPG fans can look forward to playing the remake of one of its most influential titles, Tactics Ogre: Reborn, in November. The game is a remake of Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together! from the 90s. Reborn will also introduce graphical and mechanical improvements to make it more like a modern game. Finally, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion will come out later this year.
