David Gibson: Square Enix will focus on releases of new IPs for the period ending March 2022 (Outriders, Forspoken, etc.). FFXVI, DQXII will be later?
- Thread starter DiipuSurotu
- Start date
I don't expect DQ12 to release within a year (or in 2022 generally), still not being announced and all
At this point I think everyone knew XVI was early 2022 at the earliest so this isn't that surprising.
i dont think thats entirely true, like we have dragon quest dai no daiboken releasing 3 games, ff7 releasing spin offs, the world ends with you sequel
i think this talks about AAA games and not major ips

I havn't. There are dozens of us! Dozens!
Outriders by itself already counts as a new IP for their current FY as it came out after FY2021 ended and when FY2022 started.
I am fine with this, we have FF14 Expansion this fall, ForSpoken probably early 2022 and then FF16 after that.
XVI seemed like one of those games that would make a November release in normal times, but would only take a little bit of covid delay to fall to next year. Dragon Quest I don't think I expected within the next year to begin with.
Not surprising. Before Sony removed 3rd party release dates from their CES 2021 trailer( or end screen), it had forspoken, now known as Project Athia for January 2022.
I just hope Square don't make an EGS exclusive and Screw over a lot of PC users again...but i don't have a lot of expectations that they won't screw their PC release for more money..

Yeah I think SE's statement doesn't rule that out. They are speaking from fiscal year standpoint so their comments are always like "year ending in March".
Yeah, this is what I was thinking about, then just looked it up and it was expected Jan 2022 before this so, lol.
If thats the case, no need to rush it for this year then.
yeah SE is also regular happy about that franchises performance (even though back then they went all idiotic on the first one underperforming at first)
save to assume theres more of it coming
when is SE going to create an AI that can collect the minds of its employees and use them to create games at a much faster rate?
Ahhh, boo. Oh well, I'll likely be embroiled in Mass Effect for the next year anyway.
What is this guy quoting? Is there a source besides this tweet? Not that I don't believe him but if we could see where this statement came from we might be able to infer more. Like...is it in the FY report? And if so where?
We had insiders saying it was coming earlier than we expected, so I don't think it was a stretch at all for people to think 2021.
I think "expected" was probably leaning a bit too hard into the memes of people expecting it to come out in like 2025 now that ffXVI is almost assuredly coming out next year tho.
We never had another FF launch same year as a XIV expansion, it doesnt make sense.
Yes pls! I am also waiting for DQ12 and FF, but come on SQ, give us more Lara.
It's most likely their presentation to investors and stuff that happened yesterday. By the end of the month we should get their "Outline of Results" in which they answer questions and give more details regarding plans for their next fiscal year. Square's CEO probably said that their focus will be on new IP's until March 2022. We'll see in a few weeks.

FF14 EndWalker and FF7R Intermission will be enough for me this year anyway, for major new titles at least.
For FF16 this year, I just need some major info dump, which I am sure will happen soon.

That never seemed like a hard rule by any means though. Have I missed where they said they weren't going to ever do that? It's not like they don't have big releases in years or fiscal years of expansions in the past.
And 2022+ is certainly not earlier than many people expected, so it made sense to consider 2021 going by insider's words.
I'd been betting on Spring 2022 for XVI, but this still bums me out. Like, obviously all this means is the game not releasing before March, but I kinda have the fear that it might slip into late 2022.
In any case, yeah, maybe that Forspoken date during the Sony slide is actually current and not a mistake or, as I thought, a pre-Covid target.
