Relations between Xbox and Square Enix have clearly improved in recent years. While many games previously avoided Microsoft consoles, the Japanese publisher began to port its productions there, like Final Fantasy I–VI Pixel Remaster, Final Fantasy XIV, Trials of Mana and many more. others. However, three big games are still missing, and it seems that one of the three could arrive on Xbox in early 2025.
Final Fantasy on Xbox: good news and bad news for fans according to a renowned insider
While many players are impatiently awaiting the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Final Fantasy XVI on Xbox, some expected at least one of the three to show up during the conference of Tokyo Game Show.
Since the anticipation had mainly been created by rumors, a player expressed his displeasure to eXtas1s, a very renowned insider to whom we owe leaks which turned out to be true.
So, when he was asked “where is the FFVII Remake”, he responded by specifying that he never mentioned the arrival of the remake on Xbox, but that Final Fantasy XVI should land on the console early 2025.
Where did I say the Remake is coming to Xbox?
I’ve been saying for months that it won’t happen, that the XVI will arrive at the beginning of 2025.
Although other insiders had indicated an announcement of Rebirth, Remake or XVI for the Xbox conference at the Tokyo Game Show, eXtas1s indicates that it is not responsible for what others may say.
But my friend, I’m sorry, I don’t take responsibility for what others say.
In my last tweet on the subject, I clarified that it will not take place at TGS.
On the other hand, I reaffirm, FF XVI will arrive on Xbox in 2025, and I reaffirm again, there is no active work on FFVII for Xbox.
This information obviously remains to be taken with a grain of salt, but we can still take a close look at it, to the extent that eXtas1s is not at its first attempt. Remember that Final Fantasy XVI has just been released on PC and that Naoki Yoshida, the game’s producer, confirmed in March that he wanted to extend the game’s community to other platforms.
