Square Enix has officially delayed Final Fantasy XV.
The game will forgo its original September 30th release for one on November 29th, just like rumors were claiming.
While details are somewhat vague, Square Enix said the delay “will allow the development teams time to further polish and conduct quality testing so that the reality of the game can match the expectations of both the fans and the creative teams.”
Featured above, you can find a new video with a statement from game director Hajime Tabata. In a new press release, Tabata explained things a bit further:
“From the moment we joined this project, our vision was to create a level of freedom and realism previously unseen in the series. Regrettably, we need a little bit more time to deliver on this vision and are confident that this new release date will help us achieve this. As the director and lead of this project, I wish to personally apologize for the additional wait. As a team, we want Final Fantasy XV to achieve a level of perfection that our fans deserve. We kindly ask for your understanding.”
Final Fantasy XV will launch across PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
