Final Fantasy is one of the oldest RPG series in the gaming industry, and Square Enix has enjoyed a number of triumphs thanks to its distinctive formula of imaginative world-building and captivating gameplay.
Final Fantasy 16 is expected to continue Square Enix's flagship's upward trajectory, and the publisher seems to be drawing inspiration for the new game from earlier successful installments.
Final Fantasy 16 was first revealed by Square Enix as a limited-time PlayStation 5 exclusive at a PlayStation event in September 2022. Since then, the developers have kept fans informed by verifying fresh information about the game and displaying it in trailers.
However, a precise Final Fantasy 16 release date has never been disclosed in the years since its first announcement. Nevertheless, now that the game has obtained its Brazilian rating, it appears that this may soon change.

Although it has been reported for quite some time that the release date for the game is anticipated to be disclosed as soon as early December, it is uncertain what Naoki Yoshida has in store at The Game Awards 2022. And it's possible that it will be a Final Fantasy 16 release date announcement.
Moreover, in an interview with Famitsu earlier this month, Naoki Yoshida stated that the release date for Final Fantasy 16 will be revealed later this year. The game, according to Yoshida, is currently in its last phases of development.
The team has "turned the corner and is in the home stretch" in terms of development, he said, adding that it is now focusing its efforts on debugging, tweaking, polishing, and optimization.
Those, who are eagerly waiting for the Final Fantasy 16 release date announcement should keep an eye on the Game Awards 2022. However, if we don't get a release date at the event, then it is likely that the announcement will be made by the end of December as leaks and reports eventually lead to a formal announcement.
