According to reports, Square intends to release several new games this year, and plans to focus on its most high-profile franchise, the Final Fantasy franchise.
The company also noted that they have high expectations for Final Fantasy 16, which will be shown again soon with a new trailer.
The original Final Fantasy launched on December 18, 1987 on FC Japan, which means the series will celebrate its 35th birthday at the end of the year.
Square Enix recently released the Final Fantasy 35th anniversary website, and hinted that news of future new games will be released soon. “On our 35th anniversary this year, we’re bringing you many exciting new ways to enjoy the world of Final Fantasy,” the site said.
A second Final Fantasy VII Remake is also likely to be announced soon, with producer Kitase Yoshiba confirming in a January livestream that he wants to announce the title on the series’ 35th anniversary.
Square announced on Friday that Final Fantasy XIV had a solid performance in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022, with the MMO game boosted by the “End of the Moon” expansion last December. ‘s sales helped offset declines in the company’s “HD Gaming” division, where both “Outriders” and “Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.” missed expectations.
