New Final Fantasy XVI Trailer Reveals Extended Look At Gameplay, Summer 2023 Release Window

gameinformer.com:

A new trailer for Final Fantasy XVI was released during today's PlayStation State of Play and it revealed a whole lot of war, turmoil, and primals. 

It also gave us extended looks at gameplay and a summer 2023 release window. The trailer, which dove deep into the story of FF XVI, focuses on the war that will soon be waged between warring kingdoms, with the Empire seemingly leading the charge. At the heart of this war are multiple key figures who appear to have the ability to transform into (or at least embody) primals, which have traditionally been summons in Final Fantasy games.

Check them out for yourself in the trailer below: 

Here are the primals/summons seen in the trailer: 

Eslewhere in the trailer, we get new looks at the game's combat, which seems to contain some unique boss fights that will feature health bars on the top of the screen. The combat throughout the gameplay looks quite flashy, too, with plenty of spin attacks, fire, and more. At the bottom right is a weapon wheel of sorts that seems to be something players can customize, complete with items, a jump action, an attack action, and a slew of magic attacks to utilize. Hopefully we learn more about all of this soon!

Final Fantasy XVI is being developed by Square Enix's Creative Business Unit II's studio and it will be released in the summer of 2023.
