We are delighted to announce that Final Fantasy XVI will release on 22nd June 2023, with standard and deluxe digital pre-orders available today on PlayStation Store.
Final Fantasy XVI is an epic dark fantasy world set in the realm of Valistia, a land blessed with the light of the Crystal Mother, where the world trembles as a spreading disaster threatens to destroy their kingdom. The fate of the land is determined by the Akan, powerful summoned beasts and their lords, men and women blessed with the power to summon and manipulate them.
It is the story of Clive Rossfield, a warrior called "First Shield of the Rose" and who is sworn to protect his younger brother Joshua, the reigning Phoenix Acorn of Fire. Clive soon falls into a great tragedy and swears revenge against Dark Akon Ifrit, a mysterious being who brings disasters.
Engage in dynamic battles with impressive epic powers.
Final Fantasy XVI is the first full role-playing game in the Final Fantasy series developed for PS5. It features a unique combat system where you can not only fight using Akon's skills woven into your swordplay, but also control Akon yourself. Switch between Akon Clive's powers one by one in fast-paced real-time combat and participate in fast-paced combat, taking on the role of Akon during the skirmish. In the trailer above, you can see some of the new systems we're bringing to the game. You can learn more about them below and how they can help you fight fire with fire (among other things).

Introducing a story-driven mode recommended for those who are less comfortable with fighting games and want to focus more on the story elements of the game. In this mode, Clive will automatically dodge certain attacks and epic iconic combos can be triggered by pressing a button. An action-based mode, where every action of Clive is controlled by the player, is available for those who are confident in their abilities or want to try.
The hero's best friend.
Torgal loyalist enters the battlefield.
Another exile from the northern lands captured by House Rossfield, Torgal was found alone in a snowy field on Archduke Elwyn's expedition into the frozen north and given to his sons upon his return. Somehow he survived the disaster that nearly wiped out the Rossfield line, was reunited with Clive more than a decade later, and now serves his master with the same fierce devotion as when he was just a child.
In battle, Clive's loyal dog Thorgal is always there and doesn't flinch when enemies close. Torgal can not only attack enemies but also heal Clive's wounds, and if Clive times his commands correctly, the two can become a devastating pair.
The bigger the better
Because sometimes fighting fate is more than just a lonely man's job.
At some point in his adventure, Clive will be joined by some staunch allies who will fight alongside him; Your party composition changes as the story progresses. Unlike Torgal, members of this group do not take orders directly from the player, but fight as they see fit.
One member of this group, Sydolphus Telamon, known as "Sid" to his friends, is a clandestine soldier who wants to create a place where hunted witches and exploited lords can die on their own terms. A man of science, he also researches how to live in the land of the dead, as he and his group of pagan friends should. Sid is also dominant. Soon after landing on the shores of Valistian, Akon Ramu's power awoke within him. This power led him to rise through the ranks of Volodymyr's royal army, where he appears to have crossed paths with a certain Benedicta Hermann.
