By Max Mallow
Final Fantasy 16 was announced at the start of the latest PlayStation 5 Showcase event kicking the stream off with a bang.
It's been four years since a mainline Final Fantasy title released with 15 coming out on Nov. 29, 2016 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and most recently Stadia. The announcement was capped off by letting viewers know that FFXVI is a PS5 console exclusive. Xbox and Nintendo fans will have to either pick up a PS5 or get it on PC.

Final Fantasy 16 Announced; PS5 Console Exclusive
A story trailer played out depicting protagonists and antagonists. Not much was revealed in terms of character and plot themes, but the cinematic experience was eye catching.
A PS5 console exclusive release deal means it's the second Final Fantasy game released in a row on Sony where other owners will miss out. Final Fantasy 7 Remake was a PlayStation 4 exclusive and one of the most popular games of 2020.
No release date was announced during the stream.
