Final Fantasy 16: Great Reveal postponed for Corona on spring 2022

Wouldn't we have 2021 still something to see of Final Fantasy 16? The few days that the year still has, we can now count on one source — and maybe you have already feared: Unfortunately, nothing comes this year. This has officially announced Producer Naomi Yeshiva. The reason is as often as the corona pandemic, which has thrown the development by a few months. At least he also reveals when we can count on big news.

Large Reveal only in the spring

It's about it: It is hardly possible to keep track of how many delays Corona has taken care of in the video game industry. Even in the development of Final Fantasy 16, the effects of the pandemic are now clearly felt. Producer Naomi Yeshiva speaks of a delay in half a year. Therefore, there is nothing but promised — nothing to see from the RPG this year. Yeshiva shares in a declaration divided on Twitter:

When we spoke to last time, I promised to have more information about Final Fantasy 16 later in 2021. But unfortunately I have to inform you that I can not comply with this promise, as complications related to the consecutive Covid-19 pandemic have delayed the development by almost half a year.

The good news: Yeshiva announces that a big reveal is planned for the spring 2022. So that the team wants to build excitement on the way to the release. So it sounds quite as if we are really curious.

Difficulties caused by corona

Yeshiva is also involved in its statement on the concrete problems with which the team had to fight for Corona. A big difficulty is decentralization — should be concrete: many employees worked from the home office, which complicated the communication. This provided for delays or even cancellations of asset deliveries of the outsourcing partners. Thus, the development team is not alone — 2021 has not least brought a lot of gaming shifts due to the ongoing pandemic.

Here you can see a preview video for the game:

In the new year, it should not go on this way: Yeshiva also explains the team worked on the new challenges, so that 2022 everything should run round. This is intended to enable developers to focus on their actual tasks: for example, refining combat mechanics and cutscenes or graphical optimization.

So we can hope that it works better in the new year to hold on to the plans and can be curious what the team holds for us in spring. The new RPG appears for the PS5.

Have you expected that and are you looking forward to the Reveal or are you rather sad that it takes a while?
