October 22 is the release date for Final Fantasy Resonance, an HD-2D RPG unveiled during Nintendo Direct for Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Square Enix said the game is adapted from the first story arc of the now-shuttered mobile title Brave Exvius, but rebuilt as a full console-quality RPG rather than a direct port or remaster.
The reveal brings the Octopath Traveler-style HD-2D presentation to the Final Fantasy franchise while retaining series staples such as chocobos, airships, and crossover heroes from across the saga.
The announcement adds to a busy Square Enix showcase that also featured Kingdom Hearts news and other Final Fantasy updates, signaling a broader multiplatform push.
