Announced on social media, Square Enix informed fans that it will be holding a panel at PAX East next month on March 22 that will see new information shared for Final Fantasy XVI’s next piece of DLC. The panel is set to feature members of the FF XVI development team that will include producer Naoki Yoshida, director Takeo Kujiraoka, and localization director Michael-Christopher Koji Fox. It wasn’t said what all associated with The Rising Tide will be shared during the event, but the panel itself will also be streamed on Twitch so that those who aren’t in attendance at PAX East can watch from home.
In all likelihood, this new panel at PAX East for Final Fantasy XVI should result in a new trailer and a release date for The Rising Tide being announced to the public. Given that Square also previously released Echoes of the Fallen without any previous warning, there’s also the chance that the publisher could opt to do the same thing with The Rising Tide. This obviously is just speculation, though, and shouldn’t be expected by any means.
In the near term, Square Enix is gearing up to release a new Final Fantasy game later this week with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. The second entry in the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy will come to PlayStation 5 exclusively on Thursday, February 29. If you’re interested in learning more about that game, you can read our own extensive review right here.
