Perhaps one of the most exciting upcoming games for PlayStation 5 is Final Fantasy XVI. Unfortunately, we haven’t seen a whole lot from the game yet, and it looks like it’ll be a while until we see more because today Square Enix announced a delay for the game. It’s a fairly significant one, too, as Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida says that the COVID-19 pandemic has “delayed the game’s development by almost a half year.” Yoshida revealed this in a lengthy statement published to Twitter early this morning. While most developers simply blame challenges with the COVID-19 pandemic and leave it at that, Yoshida went into specifics about how the pandemic has impacted the development of Final Fantasy XVI. According to his statement, the COVID-19 pandemic forced Square Enix to decentralize the Final Fantasy XVI team by shifting to work-from-home.
