It looks like nothing’s going to stop the Final Fantasy 16 train from heading out this June, as Square Enix has announced that the action-RPG has hit gold!

This announcement was made by the dev team over on the official Final Fantasy XVI Twitter account:

本日 #FF16 マスターアップしました！
スタッフもトルガルも喜んでいます。

発売日を楽しみにお待ちください🐺 pic.twitter.com/VU5yLiEDRm

The Google translation states:

Mastered up today #FF16 !
Both the staff and Torgal are delighted.

Please look forward to the release date 🐺

Those not familiar with the term “gold” in gaming development circles, this means that the game is now essentially finished, and is ready to be sent to manufacturers to make copies of it. Basically, outside of maybe some bug fixes, the game is good to go.

With what we’ve seen so far, Final Fantasy 16 looks to bring back the series’ reputation as one of the biggest franchises in gaming. Go check out the latest official gameplay released to see some Eikon vs Eikon combat.

Final Fantasy 16 is set for a June 22, 2023 launch on the PS5.
