It’s now June 21 and there have been over 20 gaming showcases this summer (since PlayStation kicked things off on May 24 with their showcase) including a Final Fantasy XVI pre-launch celebration and Final Fantasy 7 announcement from Summer Game Fest. Even though Sony, Ubisoft, Microsoft, Capcom and other big companies have officially wrapped up their game events for the summer, IGN is excited to announce another exciting livestream still to come: a Final Fantasy 16 Summer of Gaming Preview. So, if you’re a Final Fantasy fan, keep reading!
Assuming you’re caught up on all the gaming showcases thus far, this is one of the final streams airing from IGN Summer of Gaming after extensive gaming coverage across May and June 2023. In case you need to catch up on exclusive clips and gameplay first from Final Fantasy 16, check out our first-look videos from the game including hunt battles (a closer look into two different Notorious Mark battles), FF16 Boss Fights gameplay, and learn how FF16’s side quests affect the story, (and vice versa).
We hope you’ll join us as IGN plays through part of FF16 with Producer Naoki Yoshida and Director Hiroshi Takai in anticipation for Final Fantasy 16’s release – coming to PS5 on June 22.
