Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi recently weighed in on the possibility of expansions for the Queen’s Blood card game in the wake of its popularity. Just like Final Fantasy 7 Remake before it, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth expands on the story of the 1997 original and includes many new side quests and bonus activities. Chief among them is Queen’s Blood, a card game that can be played in the lands beyond Midgar’s borders.
Final Fantasy 16: The Rising Tide DLC Will Receive New Details at PAX East on March 22

In December last year, Square Enix announced two expansions for Final Fantasy 16, with the first, Echoes of the Fallen being shadow-dropped at the time, and the second, The Rising Tide, set for a Spring 2024 launch, and with Spring not too far away now, new details on the latter are set to be shared next month.
Square Enix has announced a Final Fantasy 16 panel for PAX East under a month from now, on March 22, at 8:30 AM PDT. The panel will be attended by producer Naoki Yoshida, The Rising Tide director Takeo Kujiraoka, and localization director Michael-Christopher Koji Fox, all of whom will be discussing the upcoming expansion.
What exactly their discussions will entail and whether we can expect concrete new details on the expansion and when it will release remains to be seen, but given its Spring 2024 launch window, one would assume late March would be a good time to talk more about the DLC.
The Rising Tide’s announcement trailer in December revealed that players would be travelling to a new location in the form of Mysidia – a name that series fans will be familiar with – while the Eikon Leviathan will also finally be folded into the story. The aforementioned Kujiraoka has previously also confirmed that The Rising Tide will be 10 hours long.
Final Fantasy 16 is available for PS5. Read our review of the game through here. A PC version is in development, while leaks have claimed that the action game is also in the works for Xbox Series X/S.
Meanwhile, Final Fantasy fans also have Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth to look forward, which launches for PS5 on February 29. Read our review of the game through here, where we awarded it a score of 10/10, calling it one of the best Final Fantasy games to date.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Director Confirms Key Town For Third Entry
Players have been gushing about Final Fantasy VII Rebirth since its launch last week, and there’s a good reason for that: the game is incredible by all meaningful accounts. Just as important, the title expanded upon the game’s lore, world, and more to ensure that gamers had the best experience within it. Remember, the original “remake” title was set entirely within Midgar, with the team at Avalanche only getting out of the city after a clash with Sephiroth. However, while the Square Enix team did make the world vast, they ensured that there was still plenty to explore within the next entry, which will finish the story.
