Great news for PC fans of the Final Fantasy series! FF XVI, the latest numbered entry in the franchise, will be arriving to Steam and the Epic Games Store next month. The game is available for pre-order now for 49.99 USD or your regional equivalent. The complete edition, which includes the DLC expansions Echoes of the Fallen and The Rising Tide, will be 69.99.

Final Fantasy XVI really focuses on the "fantasy" part of the name, with a gritty and low-tech setting, as opposed to the more sci-fi or steampunk-adjacent entries from the past. A demo is currently available, consisting of the opening hour or so of the game, as well as some later sections that give you more abilities to play with. If you want to avoid (admittedly minor) story spoilers, you might want to avoid the latter part of the demo.
