Final Fantasy XVI: EndWalker is one of the most ambitious expansions of the entire franchise and probably one of the most anticipated content of the month, sadly though Naoki Yoshida, Producer and Director of the game was forced to postpone the release date by a few weeks, from November 23, 2021 to December 7, 2021.
We are therefore talking about a time shift of just a couple of weeks, but given the proximity to the exit, Yoshida himself showed himself to be terribly dismayed and sorry for what happened, coming to take full responsibility of what happened, being at the head of all the sections present.
This great behavior intellectual honesty, is very typical of Japanese culture, so we should not be surprised by the very harsh tones of the Producer towards himself in taking the whole “guilt” for moving such a small window of time. Yet, in our opinion, it remains a gesture that does the development team a lot of credit and that shows, a very virtuous way to develop video games.
Of the arrival of the promising expansion for the famous MMORPG We had already talked about it in the course of the announcement in February of this year and it is a very substantial update that will bring the code to version 6.0 and which will expand the already very numerous contents of the title, which originally saw the light in the month of September of the far away 2010 and which has continued to be supported ever since.
In addition, a launch trailer for this expansion, lasting about four minutes and thirty seconds and which goes deeper into the story, we leave it at the bottom of this article, also specifying that the patch 6.1 (i.e. the next after the product launch) will be released on December 21, 2021.
Finally, for completeness, we report some extracts from the words of the Yoshida produces, dismayed at what happened:
I am incredibly sorry to share this so close to launch, but I have decided to postpone the release of Endwalker. The original release date was scheduled for Tuesday, November 23, 2021, but I’ve decided to postpone the release by two weeks. Therefore, the expansion pack will now be released on Tuesday 7 December 2021.
He then added on the reasons for the postponement:
There are several reasons for the postponement, but as I oversee all aspects of the title as project leader, the responsibility rests solely with me. Let me extend my sincere apologies to our players, our Warriors of Light around the world, who have been eagerly awaiting the release of Endwalker. I’m really sorry.
