Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia to end service on February 29, 2024

Final Fantasy 7 fans are spreading positivity on Twitter in 'thank you' messages to developers following harassment directed towards one writer.

2023 has been a big year for VR stealth games, with major franchises like and entering the space to create some generally solid experiences. Stacked up against this kind of competition, it's easy to miss a title like , a re-release of a PSVR game that's finally available across a more complete spectrum of platforms. Developed by Endeavor One and published by Skydance Interactive, has its fair share of attractive elements, but it's ultimately weighed down by problems that feel like they should have been fixed before it returned to the market.

I have to say I’m mightily confused by the numbering strategy of Final. The Japanese manufacturer previously launched the VR3000 earpieces around the same time that Meta’s Quest 2 appeared, and now, with the arrival of the Meta Quest 3 we have a brand-new set of VR-focused earbuds called… the VR2000? Perhaps it’s part of a strategy to launch the VR Zero alongside the Quest 5?

Final Fantasy XVI, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth are all timed PlayStation exclusives, but they may never make it to Xbox, as exclusivity for Square Enix titles is apparently going to get worse in the future.

It’s no shock that people are looking forward to diving into the upcoming PC version of Final Fantasy 16. One of this year’s biggest RPGs, its dark fantasy story has been a huge hit with both series fans and complete newcomers since it launched for PlayStation 5 back in June.

It is little news to anyone who knows me that I enjoy putting headphones on top of my head, round the back of my head, in my ears, or even against my jaw in some cases in the search for the best gaming audio. Final are a Japanese audio specialist who’ve made listening to things their business, scoring big with their previous releases like the Final VR3000 and its latest iteration the VR2000. For those looking for an over-ear experience, the UX2000 is the newest addition to the range, bringing with it ANC, wireless connection, and most interestingly a low-latency gaming mode.

GRYPHLINE has revealed that the next chapter in the Arknights series will soon make its console debut. A PlayStation 5 version of Arknights: Endfield has been announced, alongside an upcoming technical test for the PC version of the game.

The PC version of Final Fantasy XVI may require an SSD, producer Naoki Yoshida suggested in a new interview.

Square Enix has announced Final Fantasy XVI downloadable contents “Echoes of the Fallen” and “The Rising Tide.” The former is out today for $9.99, while the latter is planned for release in spring 2024. An Expansion Pass including both add-ons can also be purchased for $24.99.

Square Enix has released the “Theme Song” trailer, as well as new information and screenshots for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth introducing the Gold Saucer, Corel Prison, Vincent Valent, Cid Highwind, relationships, and more.

Back in September, Square Enix confirmed that two paid DLC expansions for Final Fantasy 16 were in development — but we're still waiting on any concrete details. However, producer Naoki Yoshida did state that more information would be heading our way before the end of the year — and we're obviously now in December.

Universal Studios has announced that Super Nintendo World Japan will be opening its Donkey Kong Country area in spring 2024.
