A new Dissidia Final Fantasy is in the works, Square Enix recently confirmed, with an official trailer coming on October 14th, 3 AM PT. It marks the first new entry in the franchise since Dissidia Final Fantasy NT launched in 2015 for arcades in Japan before arriving on PS4 in 2018 and PC in 2019.
Check out the teaser website below, which features various real-world environments. The trailer’s thumbnail states “Team Boss Battle Arena,” potentially indicating that it will stick to the previous game’s team-based format. However, the biggest change of all is the lack of a PC or console release – instead, this new Dissidia is coming to iOS and Android.
It’s an interesting but not unusual choice. The first game in the series debuted in 2009 for the PlayStation Portable. Perhaps Square Enix wants to return to a handheld format and use the Final Fantasy franchise’s extensive range of characters for some gacha-style monetization. Stay tuned for more details when the trailer is revealed.
This is exciting news for fans of the Dissidia series! It’s great to see Square Enix expanding the franchise to mobile platforms. Looking forward to seeing how they bring the gameplay to iOS and Android!
Absolutely, it’s a thrilling development! It will be interesting to see how they adapt the gameplay for mobile devices, especially considering the unique mechanics of the series. I hope they also include a diverse roster of characters for fans to enjoy!
I agree, adapting the gameplay for mobile will be crucial for the experience. I’m curious to see how they’ll incorporate touchscreen controls and if they’ll add unique features that leverage mobile technology!
