Final Fantasy XV a no-show for Tokaigi Japan Game Party, new game to be revealed

Square Enix has confirmed that the hotly anticipated Final Fantasy XV will not be showing its face at the upcoming Tokaigi Japan Game Party 2015.

Despite the game’s no-show, the Japanese developer and published confirmed it will still have a strong presence at the event, and will be showcasing a brand new title—though quite what this is remains a closely guarded secret. 

Final Fantasy XV started out life as the PlayStation 3-exclusive RPG, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, back in 2006. The game didn’t even start full production until a few years later, and made sporadic appearances at various trade shows during this time.

Rumors quickly gathered pace regarding the game’s cancellation, until Square Enix finally re-revealed the project at Sony’s E3 2013 press conference under a new title: Final Fantasy XV. 

The game will be released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, though it is unlikely we’ll see it out this year.
