Square Enix’s upcoming open-world action RPG, Forspoken, might be getting delayed again. What’s more, it seems Square’s another highly-anticipated action RPG title, Final Fantasy 16, is all set to replace it this holiday season.<\/p>\n

The aforementioned news comes from XboxEra’s Shpeshal Ed, who, in the latest XboxEra podcast episode, discussed the possibilities of Forspoken getting delayed again.<\/p>\n

Forspoken and Final Fantasy 16 are Square Enix’s biggest 2022 titles, not to mention they are both PS5 timed exclusives, so it would be interesting to see how the company handles their releases.<\/p>\n

According to Ed’s sources, Square is willing to delay Forspoken only if Final Fantasy 16 would take its place this holiday season. If you didn’t know, Forspoken, developed by the team behind Final Fantasy 15, was originally planned to release on 25th May 2022, but Square Enix decided to delay the game to this holiday season.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Final Fantasy 16 has been kept under wrap ever since its initial reveal during PlayStation’s September 2020 showcase.<\/p>\n

The game’s producer, Naoki Yoshida, who you may recall from his work on the popular MMO Final Fantasy 14<\/a>, stated earlier this year that we would get an update on the game soon.<\/p>\n
