Sony Interactive Entertainment Singapore announced today that the highly anticipated action RPG from SQUARE ENIX, FINAL FANTASY XVI will launch globally on June 22, 2023. SQUARE ENIX made an announcement during The Game Awards Show, where producer Naoki Yoshida appeared on stage to introduce the world premiere of a new game trailer titled “REVENGE,” a nod to one of the major themes players will encounter when the game releases on PlayStation 5 next year.

FINAL FANTASY XVI introduces gamers to an all-new story in the Final Fantasy universe, a dark medieval fantasy where the fate of the land is decided by deadly creatures known as Eikons and the human Dominants who can wield the powers of these mysterious beings. This is the tale of Clive Rosfield, a warrior granted the title “First Shield of Rosaria” and sworn to protect his younger brother Joshua, the Dominant of the Phoenix, Eikon of Fire.

Before long, Clive will be caught up in a great tragedy and swear revenge on the Dark Eikon known as Ifrit, a mysterious entity that brings calamity in its wake.

With striking characters, rich lore and a captivating storyline, Square Enix is launching a Standard Edition version of FINAL FANTASY XVI, as well as two additional physical SKUs.
