Hajime Tabata, director of various "Final Fantasy" games, confirmed that development studio Square Enix is currently working on a new playable demo for "Final Fantasy XV." The director, however, did not go into detail regarding the contents of the upcoming demo.
Fans of the "Final Fantasy" series have been waiting for some time now to play the full version of its latest installment. Some of them were able to get a glimpse of the game after pre-ordering this year's "Final Fantasy Type-O HD," also released by Square Enix, according to Gamereactor.
As a limited pre-order bonus, those who purchased the game will receive a free copy of the demo version for "Final Fantasy XV." It only focused on one section of the game and was titled "Final Fantasy XV: Episode Duscae." The bonus came out in March along with the official release of "Final Fantasy Type-O HD" for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Windows platforms.
In a recent interview with Chinese news site VGTimes, Tabata discussed details of the upcoming game, VG247 reported. One of the main points that the game director talked about was the release of another playable demo for "Final Fantasy XV."
Tabata, however, did not clarify if the new demo will focus on another section of the game or if it will be the same as "Final Fantasy XV: Episode Discae" but with updated graphics and features. He only noted that Square Enix is currently working on it.
He also did not say when the new and probably final demo will come out. But, this will most likely arrive a few months before the official launch of "Final Fantasy XV" in order to give developers enough time to gather fan feedback and make necessary improvements on the main game.
"Final Fantasy XV" does not have an exact release date yet but the game is expected to arrive sometime in 2016 and will be available for the Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One platforms. According to Stevivor, more details regarding its launch will be revealed by the developers in March next year.
