2016 Final Fantasy XV Release Confirmed

The 15th entry in Square's highly regarded JRPG series is not too far now. It was expected to be released this year but that had not been previously confirmed to be genuine. That has all changed now, thanks to official confirmation from game director Hajime Tabata.

As most games companies, Square Enix posted a Happy New Year message on their website. The message was more than just a goodwill to all gesture, but an announcement that his team's labour of Love will be ready within the next 12 months.

"We will finally release FFXV this year, in 2016! In development, previous phases required wisdom and strength. However, moving forward the final phase will focus on effort and willpower.

I vow to you all that every member in the team will do their best to the very last possible moment taking responsibility and pride in their craft.

We will do everything we can do to finish FFXV to create an experience we are incredibly proud of and one that you will enjoy and treasure.

The whole FFXV team appreciates all of the support from each and everyone one of you this past year.
I cannot tell you how much it means to all of us.

We’d like to celebrate a wonderful New Year and as we approach the release of FFXV, I’d like to enjoy that moment with you all."
