Final Fantasy XVI represents one of the year’s biggest exclusives on PS5. Today’s news of a pre-launch livestream comes less than a week after a PlayStation State of Play stream centered on the game. Clearly Sony and Square Enix are pushing the game in a major way, and looking to bring it a lot of attention ahead of June. The hype cycle is clearly in full swing for Final Fantasy XVI, and it will be interesting to see how the game stacks up against the franchise’s best. From everything revealed, the game certainly looks promising, and quite a bit darker from what we’ve seen from past Final Fantasy titles.

While there’s still more than two months to go until Final Fantasy XVI‘s release, fans of the series will still have plenty to keep them busy in the meantime. This week will see the console release of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. The remasters have been available on PC for quite some time now, and fans have been begging to see them released on consoles. The remasters include the first six games in the series, and will be available for purchase individually, though a physical collection was made available exclusively online. The pixel remasters are set to release on April 19th.
