The Japanese studio is using the Unreal Engine 4 engine, a title that will soon be released worldwide with "new content."
Square Enix is working on a new experience based on Final Fantasy XV for mobile devices. The Japanese company has made this collaborative project public with the Korean company JSC and the Chinese developers GAEA, which will be in charge of shaping a video game that will be released first in Asia and then worldwide.
There are few confirmed details about the game for now, although it is already confirmed that it is not only an adaptation of Final Fantasy XV to smartphones, something that was already done with Final Fantasy XV Mobile at the time, but a new staging , with more areas to explore such as the Great Pagoda, content and options for the multiplayer side. The graphic engine that is being used is the Unreal Engine 4.
The first image of the title, which will be published in China by Orienta Pearl, has been advanced by Niko Parters market analyst Daniel Ahmad on his personal Twitter account.
