Final Fantasy XVI Standard & Deluxe Editions Revealed – Release Date Too

Heavy rumours suggest that Final Fantasy XVI is going to be shown at Geoff Keighley’s The Game Awards later today, but it seems as though those rumours are consolidating further with Tom Henderson at Insider Gaming revealing the details of both the game’s Standard Edition, as well as its Deluxe Edition.

All the details, according to Henderson are outlined below,

Final Fantasy XVI’s Standard Edition

・ Weapon “Braveheart”
・ Accessory “Ketsy’s Lucky Charm”
・Accessory “Scholar’s Glasses”

• “Ketsy’s Lucky Charm” is an accessory that increases the amount of gill you can get when equipped.

Final Fantasy XVI’s Deluxe Edition

Digital Deluxe Edition includes:

• Digital Mini Soundtrack
• *The Digital Mini Artbook and Digital Mini Soundtrack (hereinafter referred to as the “Content”) are available through the Square Enix Digital Content Viewer.

  *An internet connection is required to use Square Enix Digital Content Viewer.

Something that may potentially get lost in this news, is a nugget that Henderson slips quite late into his article, the game’s release date, which he claims is to be June 22, 2023, making it three big games that will be launching in that window all to be announced at The Game Awards, with the others being Capcom’s Street Fighter 6 on June 2, 2023, and Blizzard’s Diablo IV on June 5, 2023. It seems that there is no quiet release window in the first half of 2023 at this point.

Final Fantasy XVI is launching on PS5 and PC on June 22, 2023 (apparently), but we’ll await confirmation later today.
