Final Fantasy XVI will be available for the PlayStation 5 on June 22 next year. Sony has enforced an exclusivity agreement that means the game will not be released for other platforms until December 31 that year. Square Enix also talked about a PC version earlier.

The action RPG revolves around Clive Rosfield, who is tasked with protecting his younger brother Joshua. Out a new trailer turns out he can’t. In the game, Rosfield wants revenge on Ifrit, ‘a mysterious creature’. He can turn into an Eikon in the process; those are great mythical creatures. Other Eikons can also be found in the game, so you sometimes have to fight against other Eikons as an Eikon.

The game will have a Story mode for players who mainly want to follow the story and are less interested in the action elements of the game. In this mode, Rosfield dodges ‘some’ fights and his combo moves can be summoned with a single button. With the story, Rosfield gets to know several characters and other companions, such as a dog, who can help him during battles.

Sony had previously announced that the game would remain a PlayStation 5 exclusive for six months. The trailer shows that the game will not be released for other platforms until December 31, 2023. A PC version will follow. Previous Final Fantasy games also appeared for other consoles such as the Xbox; nothing has been said about this at Final Fantasy XVI.
