Square Enix’s biggest release, and this year’s most hotly anticipated action RPG, Final Fantasy 16, is finally releasing on June 22. The PS5 exclusive seems to have garnered favourable reviews from critics, with many praising the game’s engaging story, wonderfully written characters, combat and top-notch visuals (which is everything, we guess!).
However, players in the UAE and the Middle Eastern region should note that the game has been banned due to its R-rated content and will not be sold in retail and online stores. As such, players will have to find other means to acquire the game…if you get our drift.
