Square Enix’s PS5-exclusive, Final Fantasy XVI, was the finale at Sony’s State of Play with a new trailer showcasing combat, UI, new characters, and more. Final Fantasy XVI releases in 2023, and this is the first new footage we’ve seen from the game in a long time. Final Fantasy XVI was announced for PS5 and since then, we’ve learned a bit about the world and characters. It has always looked fantastic, but this new trailer was above and beyond what I expected from the game. Watch the new Final Fantasy XVI State of Play trailer below:
