Final Fantasy XVI was first announced back at the PS5 reveal event in 2020, and fans have been waiting for more news ever since. The pandemic has obviously taken a toll on the game and caused issues in development, but hopefully later this year we get an update on the development of the game and a possible release date as according to a report from Jason Schreier the game has been in development for much longer than people may think, given the rather tumultuous history of Final Fantasy XV.
