At The Game Awards, Square Enix showcased a new trailer for Final Fantasy XVI, which is launching on PS5 this June, and will remain PS5-only for six months. The new trailer features music from Soken, and it looks and sounds incredible. Alongside the Final Fantasy XVI release date, Square Enix also revealed the collector’s edition for Japan. I’m hoping this is the same as the one for the West. Pre-orders are now live, but retailers are yet to list the different editions as of this writing in North America and Europe. I will update this when they are announced. Watch the Final Fantasy XVI Revenge trailer below:
