The PC release date announcement isn’t all Square Enix revealed, either. Along with the glorious news that PC players finally get to experience the action-driven RPG, there’s also a brand new trailer — ‘Deliverance’

Before Final Fantasy 16’s September 17 PC debut, or September 18 for folks in Japan, you can play the demo right now on both and . The FF16 demo covers the opening section of the game, and save data carries over to your purchase of the full version.

It’s an exciting test that also includes Eikonic Challenge mode, offering both the chance to see if it’s a Final Fantasy suitable to your tastes and also to che𒈔ck whether your rig can handle the minimum requirements, which are admittedly pretty hefty.
