Bad news to all "Final Fantasy" fans. The much awaited "Final Fantasy XV" is not arriving this year. According to the February 16 report of Master Herald, gamers may have to wait a little longer as Sony itself announced that the game would not be ready for release this year. The news outlet then predicts that there is a high chance it would come out in the "early months" of next year.
Those who could no longer wait to see "Final Fantasy XV" could still get a glimpse of the new game by purchasing the upcoming "Final Fantasy Type 0 HD." Master Herald revealed that the game, which is slated for a March release, would contain a playable demo of the "Final Fantasy XV" entitled "Final Fantasy 15: Episode Duscae."
Eurogamer reported that the physical copies of "Final Fantasy Type 0 HD" would contain download tokens. Gamers would also be able to explore the region of Duscae in the said trial. The demo will also include "several hours" of playtime and "plenty of hidden secrets." The download codes will be available starting March 20 this year.
Moreover, gamers could also expect to learn more about the demo, game play and mechanics as Square Enix allegedly has plans of conducting a streaming event next week. Master Herald said that studio director Hajime Tabata would be in the said streaming event to help players with the new changes in the gameplay. It added that gamers will be able to watch the event on YouTube Live. Some are also expecting to hear about the game's development and its actual release date.
Meanwhile, Dual Shockers has some good news! It has shared some screenshots of the upcoming game. The website said that the photos were printed in the latest issue of the Japanese comic magazine Shonen Jump. In these screenshots, we get a glimpse of the camp menu and how will the night look like. We also get to see a gas station. View the remaining screenshots here and here.
