Regardless of aggressive advertising and marketing, Ultimate Fantasy 16 pre-orders are allegedly lagging behind FF 15, resulting in some inside rumbles over at Sq. Enix.

Former Recreation Informer editor, Imran Khan, took to Patreon to present some perception into what he’s been listening to. He introduced up Ultimate Fantasy 7 Rebirth and the way it’s “progressing easily,” one thing the studio sort of randomly did after a yr of silence. He used that as a segway into Sq. Enix’s considerations concerning the pre-order state of affairs for the upcoming PS5 unique entry.

The sunshine on the finish of the tunnel for Sq. Enix, although, is that not everybody pre-orders video games. Loads of gamers choose to attend till it releases as a substitute of committing to purchasing the sport days, weeks, or oftentimes months earlier than the precise launch.

It’s potential this entry may fall flatter than its earlier multi-platform recreation, however supposedly, even when accounting for the shortage of an Xbox and PC viewers, it’s nonetheless down the place Sq. Enix anticipated it to be. We’ll have to attend and see whether or not or not the precise gross sales post-release will meet expectations.
