Overview
- Square Enix revealed Final Fantasy Resonance during Tuesday's Nintendo Direct and set a release date of October 22, 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Windows (Steam), Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.
- The game is based on the first story arc of the now-closed mobile title Final Fantasy Brave Exvius but, Square Enix says, has been "refined and extensively rebuilt" as a full console‑quality RPG rather than a direct port.
- Resonance uses HD-2D pixel-art visuals and a strategic turn-based combat system with a turn-order bar, stagger mechanics for extra turns, and a Visions system that equips echoes of classic Final Fantasy characters to party members.
- Square Enix is positioning Resonance as a paid retail release with pre-orders open, a reported base price near $50, plus Digital Deluxe and Collector’s Editions that include physical items and a standalone soundtrack.
- Team Asano is developing the game with Tomoya Asano as executive producer, Elements Garden led by Noriyasu Agematsu handling new music, and the studio estimates a 30–40 hour main campaign and up to roughly 80 hours for completionists, marking a move to restore turn‑based, nostalgia-driven Final Fantasy experiences on consoles and PC.
