Today’s State of Play featured a new look at Final Fantasy Resonance, launching October 22, 2026. We’re also excited to announce the release of a free demo for PlayStation 5, featuring the entire first chapter of the game. Save data from the demo can be carried over to the full game.
Final Fantasy Resonance is built on the concept, “What if Final Fantasy had continued to push the limits of pixel art?” The game sends you off on a journey to protect the Crystals scattered across the world and to stop the pursuit of Veritas of the Dark who seeks to destroy the world. This tale of crystals is brought to life in high-definition pixel art in the HD-2D style, alongside familiar Final Fantasy elements such as chocobos and airships, an evolved turn-based battle system, and a more accessible take on the classic job system.
Cinematic Pixel Art
The opening movie and other cinematics feature a cutting-edge pixel-based style using a production method that renders 3DCG in pixel form to achieve dynamic visuals while retaining the timeless charm of pixel art.
