It looks like we're going to have wait a while longer for our next good look at Final Fantasy XVI. Producer Naoki Yoshida has confirmed that, due to the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the game's development has been delayed "by almost half a year", and that its "next big reveal" will come in spring 2022.
"When we last spoke, I promised I would have more information on Final Fantasy XVI sometime later in 2021," Yoshida explains in a statement shared on the game's Twitter channel (below). "However, I regret to inform you that I will be unable to keep that promise as complications stemming from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic have delayed the game's development by almost half a year."
The producer explains that the studio has needed to "decentralise" the large team of creators working on the game and let them work from home due to the ongoing pandemic. This has unfortunately meant, though, that communications from the head office in Tokyo have been "hampered", which has had a knock-on effect on the delivery of assets.
