Here is the exact date and time for the Final Fantasy 16 review embargo before it releases globally.

First Published June 20, 2023, 16:53

UPDATE: According to various sources, the Final Fantasy 16 embargo will drop today (Wednesday, 21st, June) at 5 PM BST. That's 7 AM PT and 10 AM ET, so there's only a few more hours until reviews release!

Final Fantasy XVI is coming closer to its release and is the 16th installment in the franchise. You will take the role of Clive Rosfield, the First Shield of Rosaria, who has to protect his younger brother Joshua from Eikons. The story will take a dark turn in Final Fantasy 16 and will feature a complex tale of revenge, power struggles, and unavoidable tragedy.

The fans can't wait to dive into the game, and the good news is that there will be a demo released for Final Fantasy 16 that will let players check out the game's mechanics, a part of the story, and more. In addition to this, players are eagerly waiting for its embargo to lift to find out what the experts have to say about the game, and you can find all the information below.

Final Fantasy XVI  Review Embargo Date and Time

While the previews of Final Fantasy 16 are already available, the review embargo is expected to lift on June 21, approximately 24 hours prior to its global release. This has not been announced officially by Square Enix and is based on the embargoes' date for previous titles in the franchise.

If you're wondering how long you have left to wait, check out the countdown timer below:

However, since there will be a demo available for the game, the embargo can lift a bit earlier as well, and we will update this page once the official date and time for it is out.

Revenge is a weapon. I sometimes wonder if I am controlling it or if it’s controlling me.

Once Final Fantasy's review embargo lifts, you can then have a detailed look at its reviews and decide if you want to purchase the game or not, as it is an expensive one.

Its Standard Edition will cost you $69.99, and if you want some bonus items, you can buy its Digital Deluxe Edition or Collector's Edition for $99.99 and $349.99, respectively.

We will update this page once we have more information about the embargo, so make sure to keep an eye on it.
