Square Enix says it is worried about the sales of its next release: Final Fantasy XVI
However, the insider and journalist Imran Khan reports that there is "panic" in the Square Enix around this, because the project is registering a slightly lower number of pre-orders, even doing the calculations taking into account that the game will only premiere on the PlayStation 5compared to Final Fantasy XV, which also reached the PlayStation 4 e Xbox One.
Khan recalls that only the number of pre-orders is taken into account, which could be an indicator of how well the game could sell on its debut. But in the end, sales are what count and the game could do well despite not registering many pre-orders.
Perhaps gamers no longer have much confidence in pre-orders and want to wait and see if the game has a good launch or not. Likewise, the journalist talks about the strange reminder that the Square Enix did about Final Fantasy VII Rebirth continue its course and with no apparent changes to its launch plan.
Somehow reminding players that the game is on its way and thus giving them a wider advertising window. It's worth noting that sales of Final Fantasy VII Remake were good, but he declined faster than expected.
Final Fantasy XVI arrives exclusively for PlayStation 5 on June 22, 2023.
