Because the one-year anniversary of Ultimate Fantasy XVI’s launch approaches, the sport appears to be approaching the tip of help. The Rising Tide, the second and remaining piece of DLC for the sport, releases in April, and the PC port is within the remaining levels of optimization. The idea can be that after each of these are full, the sport would trip off into the sundown. Producer Naoki Yoshida appears to produce other concepts, although, they usually embrace porting the sport to platforms past PC.
Speaking with Noisy Pixel throughout PAX East, Yoshida revealed that followers won’t have to bid farewell to FF16 simply but. When requested if it’s robust for him and the group to say goodbye to the sport’s characters with the discharge of the ultimate DLC, Yoshida responded by saying, “It’s not over within the sense that we’ve the PC model. As soon as the PC model is launched, we’re excited about hopefully transferring to different platforms as effectively.”
Whereas Yoshida didn’t specify precisely what “different platforms” the group is trying to port FF16 to, the technical necessities to run the sport slender the choices. The obvious candidate for a port can be the Xbox Sequence X|S. Yoshida’s work on Sq. Enix’s RPG franchise has already made its approach over to Xbox this yr with the discharge of Ultimate Fantasy 14 on the platform. As a big-budget single-player entry within the collection, FF16 has extra in frequent with one thing like FF7 Remake than with FF14, and Remake is apparently by no means coming to Xbox, however that looks like a particular case.
One other risk is that FF16 might be ported to a console we don’t learn about but. With rumors persevering with to swirl across the inevitable successor to the Nintendo Swap, there’s all the time an opportunity a port of FF16 might come to the console. Nevertheless, rumored specs for the Swap 2 put it extra in step with PS4 and Xbox One, so FF16 would nonetheless must be closely optimized (and certain compromised) for the platform. However till Yoshida and the group share extra concrete particulars, Xbox and Nintendo players must keep hopeful. PC gamers may be happy figuring out they’ll get their arms on the sport quickly sufficient, and PS5 gamers will be capable of say goodbye to Clive and associates when The Rising Tide releases on April 18.
