Not too many surprises here. Nice that Pikmin 4 made the list, if just barely
Can’t wait for Final Fantasy XVI, a Reddit post suggested a March 2023 release and others have suggested a summer 2023 release date but nothing official. FFXV was alright, if you like the emo goth look and The Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants.
Square Enix said summer 2023 :)
Thank’s, didn’t know Square Enix made it official. Thought it was just an estimated guess when it might be scheduled for release.
