During Sony's latest State of Play Square Enix has revealed another new game. This time a new instalment in the Valkyrie series titled Valkyrie Elysium. This action RPG will be released in 2022 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Steam.

The world is on the brink of destruction. You play as a Valkyrie who is entrusted with the fate of this world by the All-Father - the highest among gods and the ruler of all creation. Descending to the land below, you must battle powerful foes, and uncover the secrets behind the impending ruin.

Like previous games in the Valkyrie series, this game features fast-paced combat with a brand new real-time action combat system that rewards both fast reactions and strategic thinking. You can also recruit the Einherjar - warriors who’ll join the hero and fight at her side when summoned. Motoi Sakuraba, the series composer, has returned to contribute tracks for the soundtrack.

Luminous Productions, the developers of Forspoken, and Square Enix have announced that the game has been delayed the open-world action RPG which was previously planned to be released on 24 May 2022. The new release date will be 11 October 2022.

We have made the decision to move the release date of Forspoken to October 11, 2022. Our vision for this exciting new IP is to deliver a game world and hero that gamers across the globe will want to experience for years to come, so getting it right is extremely important to use. To that end, during the next few months we will focus all of our efforts on polishing the game and can’t wait for you to experience Frey’s journey this fall.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to sharing more about Forspoken with you soon.

Forspoken will be released on PlayStation 5 and PC on 11 October 2022.

Square Enix has apologized to the community of Final Fantasy XIV for the current congestion situation due to the start of early access for the Endwalker expansion on 3 December and will compensate everyone with free game time.

On The Lodestone, Naoki Yoshida, producer and director of Final Fantasy XIV, said the following:

Currently, all Worlds across all regions have been hitting the login cap for extremely long periods of time, and the progression of login queues is being slowed dramatically. Across the FFXIV service as a whole, the number of simultaneous logins has reached the hardware limit, and as a result, logging in has required an extremely long time, especially during “peak hours” when we tend to see increased player activity. For this, I am truly sorry.

All players who own the full version of the game and have an active subscription will be granted 7 days of free game time during the official release of Endwalker on 7 December. This also includes players who are currently playing on the 30-day free play period included when registering the full version of the game and those with multiple accounts.

Additional free game time will be announced at a later date if the congestion situation still persists.

Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker will be released on 7 December (today) after being delayed for two weeks and is the fourth expansion (after Heavensward, Stormblood and Shadowbringers).

Earlier this year during the Dragon Quest 35th anniversary livestream Square Enix has announced Dragon Quest X Offline, an offline version of Dragon Quest X Online. During the Tokyo Game Show 2021 special about Dragon Quest X Offline, Square Enix has announced the release date.
