There have been rumblings of an announcement for Ultimate Fantasy 16’s PC model, particularly after Nvidia’s current Recreation Prepared and Studio Driver 560.81 referenced the title. Whereas Gamescom Opening Night time Dwell may very well be the best place, an Xbox Collection X/S model might not be too far behind.
Responding in a ResetEra thread about the identical, insider NateTheHate stated, “Ultimate Fantasy 16 on Xbox goes to occur. Simply ready for Sq. [Enix] to announce it.” When requested if there was an opportunity of its announcement on August twentieth throughout Opening Night time Dwell, he replied, “The earlier, the higher.”
This doesn’t imply a reveal on the opening ceremony, however there could also be one thing throughout Xbox @ Gamescom 2024 from August twenty first to twenty third. The collection of streams hosted by Microsoft will cowl upcoming releases like S.T.A.L.Ok.E.R. 2: Coronary heart of Chornobyl, Age of Mythology: Retold, Atomfall, Avowed, Ara: Historical past Untold, Towerborne, and even third-party titles like Star Wars Outlaws.
An Xbox Collection X/S announcement wouldn’t be stunning, particularly since producer Naoki Yoshida stated the staff hopes to launch for “different platforms” after the PC model. As for the latter, Yoshida confirmed it’s within the “closing levels of optimization”, with a demo arriving earlier than launch.
