According to Gematsu.com Square Enix is planning to launch Final Fantasy XV worldwide on Friday 30 September 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This information was corroborated by three independent sources who would have knowledge of the matter. According to the website the release on this day will be very likely, however given sensitivity of the matter, and that within a company setting anything can change before it is made public, they're reporting it as a rumor.
The release date will be officially announced at Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV, an event taking place on 30 March at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.
Final Fantasy XV was first announced as Final Fantasy Versus XIII on E3 2006 exclusively for PlayStation 3. On E3 2013 it was revealed as Final Fantasy XV.
