Final Fantasy XVI delayed by six months due to covid-19

In late 2020, Square-Enix revealed that they were working on Final Fantasy XVI. Since then, it has been quiet about the game, but producer Naoki Yoshida has said that the team hopes to show something in 2021.

Now Naoki apologizes to Yoshida and writes via Twitter that it will not be so. The whole thing is due to complications created by the covid-19 pandemic, which he estimates has delayed the game’s development by almost six months.

However, these problems will be rectified in 2021 and the hope is that the pandemic will have a minimal impact on future developments.

Naoki Yoshida writes that much more of the game will therefore be shown in the spring of 2022 in connection with the company wanting to build up expectations before the release.

When Final Fantasy XVI could be released, however, is still unknown.
