Upcoming Final Fantasy Titles in 2022 and 2023

As fans know, Square Enix made a notable appearance with Final Fantasy XVI in the recently-concluded PlayStation State of Play after a long wait. Final Fantasy fans were starstruck with the recent reveal trailer ‘Dominance’ that featured a lot of Eikons and action!

Final Fantasy XVI is presently slated to release as a PlayStation exclusive in the summer of 2023. And then, we’ll have the Final Fantasy VII remake titled ‘Rebirth‘ just after, in the winter of 2023!

In addition, we expect to get the Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis on mobile by the end of this year.

Moreover, Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy VII remake will be a three-part trilogy, the first part of which will release in Winter 2022. Rebirth is the second title in the remake trilogy.

Titled ‘Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion’, the introduction to the trilogy is supposedly a prequel to the original title. Crisis Core: FFVII Reunion will be available across a host of platforms, including last-gen consoles and Nintendo Switch.

That makes a total of four FF titles in a bracket of slightly more than one year!

Rebirth’s story could be a bit confusing for fans

Although the trailer seems magnificent to the eye and stays true to some original lore, it shows a lot of shifts from FFVII, which, as pointed out by fans, could confuse many people and destroy the classic.

However, a lot of fans are just simply excited for all the Final Fantasies!

Rebirth’s PS5 exclusivity disappoints a lot of Xbox and PS4 fans

While most were plain happy with Square Enix releasing so many titles, some were worried about Rebirth being PlayStation 5 exclusive.

Well, the 25th anniversary of FFVII was definitely a success with all the huge announcements we received! However, we’ll have to wait and watch what Square Enix has in store for us in terms of quality, story, and actual gameplay over the next couple of years.

It will undoubtedly be a fan feast, but with Square Enix introducing story tweaks to the beloved classic and making it PS exclusive, things may not turn out well for the fans!
