Naoki “Yoshi-P” Yoshida has shared that Sq. Enix does nonetheless plan to launch its video games on a number of platforms concurrently “an increasing number of.”

Sq. Enix is not fairly the highest canine it was once within the recreation trade, with Closing Fantasy 16 and Closing Fantasy 7 Rebirth each failing to fulfill expectations. There’s plenty of causes that could be the case, however one in all them is nearly undoubtedly the truth that going multiplatform is the way in which to go for many builders nowadays, however Sq. has principally stored to PlayStation and the Nintendo Swap in recent times. However due to these latest struggles, it has shifted plans to verify its video games launch on Xbox and PC too, and it looks like these plans are in full impact, primarily based on some latest feedback from Yoshi-P.

Talking with 4Gamer (translated by VGC) concerning the upcoming launch of Fantasian Neo Dimension, Yoshi-P mentioned that Sq. Enix needs you to play this new model of the beforehand iOS-exclusive “quite a bit on different platforms as nicely,” persevering with on to say, “This time, we will even launch the Xbox Sequence X|S model on the identical time. Sooner or later, Sq. Enix titles might be launched concurrently on every platform an increasing number of, however since that is near the primary launch, we want Xbox customers to play it as nicely.”

That is clearly excellent news for Xbox followers specifically, who’ve been fairly shafted in terms of taking part in Sq. Enix’s greater titles in recent times – heavy PS4 hitters like Closing Fantasy 15 and Kingdom Hearts 3 each got here out on Xbox One on the time, however bounce ahead to Closing Fantasy 7 Remake/ Rebirth and 16, you are out of luck until you personal a PlayStation (although Remake and 16 did later come to PC).

Whether or not going full multiplatform will assist Sq. Enix obtain its lofty gross sales objectives or not is one other query, however with two components of a trilogy solely being out there on one platform does not spell success for the third half, even whether it is multiplatform – although it most likely will not be. I am certain Closing Fantasy 17 would be the one which’s a contemporary hit!
