Square-Enix President Yoichi Wada has this morning denied rumours started by Kotaku that said Final Fantasy XIII Versus had been cancelled. Wada says “someone is spreading a false rumor about Versus being canceled” and that the game is very much still in development.
Kotaku is claiming, from “multiple sources”, that Final Fantasy Versus XIII has been cancelled by Square Enix. The site claims that the game was officially cancelled within the “last few weeks” and the decision has impacted morale at the company. The rumor also suggests that an official cancellation announcement will not be made.
Final Fantasy Versus XIII has been talked about for some time now – it was first announced almost 6 years ago at E3 2006. However, details over the years have been scarese until this week. MCV seems to believe that Final Fantasy Versus XIII will instead now be Final Fantasy XV, though a source for that has not been revealed.
The sequel to Final Fantasy XIII was announced back in January of this year with a simple release window of Winter 2011. Gaming news site Andriasang reports that the Final Fantasy XIII-2 director has hinted during a Q&A session held over the weekend that the role playing game’s final release date will be announced by Square Enix during this year’s Tokyo Game Show.
Square-Enix has done a good job of keeping most everything about the game under the table and all that has done is left fans more eager. Below you will find a summary of everything we know about the game so far, including details of the battle system and details on some of the characters.
