Cover Reveal – Final Fantasy 16
Final Fantasy XVI arrives exclusively on PlayStation 5 next month, but before that, it’s getting the Game Informer spotlight on our latest cover! We traveled to Japan and spoke with several of the leads within developer Creative Business Unit III of Square Enix to talk about combat, story, art, lore, and so much more, and we played hours of the game we can’t wait to tell you about.

TheGame Informer Gold cover features the two Rosfields and Eikons swapped, with Joshua and Phoenix on the front and Clive and Ifrit on the back. And like every Game Informer Gold cover before it, you’ll see “Game Informer” in flashy, metallic gold. Each Gold issue is numbered, too, making it even more special for collectors.
