With “Echoes of the Fallen” and “The Rising Tide”, Square Enix has announced two DLCs for the role-playing game “Final Fantasy XVI”. But what are the chances that we will have more content coming our way? Producer Naoki Yoshida addressed this question in an interview.
After the release of “Echoes of the Fallen” at the end of 2023, we have “The Rising Tide“ Another DLC for “Final Fantasy 16” will be coming this spring.
But what are the chances that further content for “Final Fantasy 16” will be released after the two DLCs? In an interview, producer Naoki Yoshida addressed this topic and at least did not want to rule out further DLC for the role-playing game per se. According to the producer, the time and effort that the developers put into “Final Fantasy 16” speaks for further content.
“My honest answer is: I don’t know at the moment,” said Yoshida. “But at the same time the possibility is not completely ruled out. I don't want to rule out any real possibilities at this point. The reason for this is that we put a lot of effort (…) and time into developing this game.”
Above all, the fact that his team learned a lot about implementing large single-player projects while developing “Final Fantasy 16” was an important factor, according to Yoshida.

“Because of that, we were able to gain a lot of experience, a lot of knowledge that we can potentially apply to our next project or title,” Yoshida added. “So my honest feeling is that the team wants to take on a new challenge and move on to another project”
“Maybe it’s a whole new game. Maybe in a completely new form of entertainment. I feel like this might ultimately be the best route. Not just for the players, but also for us.”
“But again. To emphasize: The possibility of additional DLC content for Final Fantasy 16 is not zero,” the producer concluded.
“Final Fantasy 16” was released for the PS5 in June of last year. The developers are currently working on implementing the role-playing game for the PC, although Square Enix has not yet given a specific date.
