* Naoki Yoshida, Producer of Final Fantasy 16 announces that due to the ongoing complications stemming from Covid that there will be no new updates for the game this year. This is what he said in a tweet, “As the latest addition to the FINAL FANTASY series being developed for the PlayStation 5, FINAL FANTASY XVI(16) has amassed a sizable team composed of talented creators from around the world. However, in an effort to offset the effects of COVID-19, we’ve had to decentralize that workforce by permitting staff to tackle their assignments from home. This has unfortunately hampered communication from the Tokyo office, which, in turn, has led to delays in-or in extreme cases, cancellations of asset deliveries from our outsource partners,” he continues, “That said, we have spent much of 2021 addressing this issue, and hope to see its impact to a minimum by the new year, allowing us to better focus on the tasks at hand: increasing graphic resource quality, refining combat mechanics, fleshing out individual battles, putting the finishing touches on cutscenes, and conducting overall graphical optimization. Our primary goal now is to be as hands on with the game as possible in order to see it fully polished.” He goes on to say that we can expect more revealed for the game in the Spring of 2022. And he ends by saying, “I deeply apologize to all those who have been looking forward to learning more about FINAL FANTASY XVI, and thank you for vour
* continued patience while we focus our combined efforts on development.”

* Ed Nightingale with Eurogamer reports that Void Interactive has lost the Publisher to it’s SWAT tactical first person shooter Ready or Not. The publisher was going to be Team17. It’s speculated that the publisher pulled out due to the fact that the developer is going to include a school shooting level. In a reddit post a developer for Void Interactive responded to a question as to whether or not the game would feature such a school shooting level and they responded with, “You better believe it’s gonna.” Ready or Not was released on the Steam Store in early access on December 17th of this year. No statement has been released as to why the publisher pulled out. In a tweet Void Interactive said this, “VOID Interactive and Team17 have mutually agreed that Team17 will no longer publish Ready or Not. We are confident that this is the right path for the future of Ready or Not, and we thank Team17 for their partnership and wish them great success with their spectrum of games!” As well in a response to a question on Twitter about more details of why the split happen this is what Void had to say, “Unfortunately we cannot say much more about the split but we are confident that this move is the best for both parties and will allow us to continue to produce and update Ready or Not on Steam Early Access.”
