We shared a rumor last weekend that Sony has nabbed Square Enix?s Final Fantasy XVI as a timed exclusive for the PlayStation 5, which the company reportedly plans to unveil at tomorrow?s event.
While a number of trusted insiders added weight to the rumor, there was some disagreement over whether Sony initially planned to unveil it during its June PS5 event or not. We now have some more information via another verified insider, APZonerunner (also features editor over at VG247), who has suggested that Final Fantasy XVI was left out of the June event in favor of Project Athia because Sony wanted to showcase more technically impressive projects. Final Fantasy XVI will reportedly stick to its ?tried-and-true existing engine? whereas Project Athia happens to be Square Enix?s more ?forward-looking, visually mind-blowing project.?
