Will this finally be the place where we see more of Final Fantasy 16? Fans of the new Square Enix RPG have been kept waiting for over 18 months for a new showing of the game, and so far we’ve seen nothing of the project. After all, producer Naoki Yoshida did recently reveal that a trailer for the game was “done” and ready to go.
However, this might be a State of Play showcase without a single first-party reveal by PlayStation. Over on the PlayStation Blog (opens in new tab), the announcement wording specifically makes reference to third-party titles in development for the PS5, hence why there’s now going to be rampant speculation about Final Fantasy 16 showing up.
Elsewhere though, we’ll be getting a look at some PSVR 2 games. The PlayStation Blog reveals that some of the announcements due over the new State of Play will be VR-exclusive titles for the new-gen headset, so there’s a fair chance that if there are any first-party reveals at all in the showcase, it’ll be for the PSVR 2. With Sony recently revealing that there’ll be over 20 games available for the PSVR 2 on day one, this is an excellent opportunity to show what they’ve got up their sleeve.
