Speaking during today’s NieR Re[in]carnation stream, as reported by @aitaikimochi on Twitter, Naoki Yoshida confirmed that the trailer has been delayed by certain factors, but it should be dropping soon. The Final Fantasy XVI producer also provided an update on the game’s development, saying that the team spent a long time polishing and debugging the game, and is continuing to do so, and that development is pretty much complete. As such, it sounds likely that the game will release later this year, or early in 2023.

Final Fantasy XVI is releasing on PlayStation 5 on a yet to be confirmed release date. You can check out the game’s announcement trailer right below. This makes the story more immersive. It’s a very dense story.
