'Final Fantasy XVI' Comes To PC In September, Playable Demo Available - Trailer

Final Fantasy XVI brings players into a world where Eikons are powerful and deadly creatures that reside within Dominants—a single man or woman who is blessed with the ability to call upon their dreaded power.

Final Fantasy XVI is a standalone single player action-RPG.

Final Fantasy XVI introduces gamers to an all-new standalone story in the Final Fantasy universe, an epic dark fantasy world that takes place in the realm of Valisthea—a land blessed in the light of the Mothercrystals, and where peace falters as the spread of the Blight threatens to destroy their dominions.

The fate of the land is decided by the Eikons, powerful and deadly creatures, and their Dominants, men and women who have been blessed with the ability to call upon and wield them. This is the tale of Clive Rosfield, a warrior granted the title “First Shield of Rosaria” and sworn to protect his younger brother Joshua, the Dominant of the Phoenix, Eikon of Fire.

Before long, Clive will be caught up in a great tragedy and swear revenge on the Dark Eikon Ifrit, a mysterious entity that brings calamity in its wake. 

In an immersive world built by talented developers, including Kazutoyo Maehiro (Creative Director & Original Screenplay), Michael-Christopher Koji Fox (Localization Director) and more, Final Fantasy XVI brings players into the realm of Valisthea, where Eikons are powerful and deadly creatures that reside within Dominants— single men or women who are blessed with the ability to call upon their dreaded power.

So buckle up, the wait is almost over!

Final Fantasy XVI is coming to PC on September 17, 2024 at $49.99, with a Complete Edition ($69.99) that includes Echoes of the Fallen DLC, The Rising Tide DLC and Expansion Pass.
Content included with this product
  • Final Fantasy XVI Base Game
  • “Onion Sword” weapon (Available for redemption from the System tab in the Main Menu upon reaching the main scenario quest "A Chance Encounter.")

The adrenaline-filled Final Fantasy XVI Demo is also now available on Steam and Epic Games Store, allowing players to try out the PC version for free.

The demo includes the opening prologue of the game during Clive’s adolescence, with the save data carrying over to the full game at launch. With over two hours of content, the demo also includes a special “Eikonic Challenge” Mode, allowing players to enjoy even more frenetic fights with access to even more Eikonic Abilities in battle.

The first DLC chapter, “Echoes of the Fallen,” unlocks new story, battles, weapons, accessories, level cap and more. The adventure begins before the base game’s final battle, as strange, dark crystals begin to circulate on the black market. Players will follow Clive and company during their investigations as they encounter a group of suspicious traders, leading them to a long-abandoned Fallen tower known as the Sagespire and the terrible secrets that await within.
 
The second, and final DLC chapter, “The Rising Tide,” brings an all-new story, battles, sidequests, weapons, accessories, level cap and more, adding a new depth to Clive’s journey before the exciting conclusion of FINAL FANTASY XVI. Players will gain new Eikonic abilities, explore a beautiful new area in the hidden land of Mysidia, and dive into battle against the legendary water Eikon, Leviathan the Lost. This DLC also adds brand new end-game content with the Kairos Gate, where players will challenge 20 stages of intense scored and ranked battles against waves of enemies.

Currently available for PS5, Final Fantasy XVI is coming to PC (Steam) on September 17, 2024.
