During the Nintendo Direct earlier today, there were a few big announcements. One of them is that Square introduced their first Final Fantasy title to get the HD-2D treatment that has been so well received in some of the Dragon Quest games.

Final Fantasy Resonance is the name of this game, a celebration of classic and modern Final Fantasy that evokes the beloved titles of yesteryear.

This tale of Crystals features a strategic turn-based battle system with a modern twist, the return of chocobos, espers, and airships, in addition to appearances from beloved Final Fantasy characters such as Cloud, Tidus, and the Warrior of Light, all presented in stunning, retro-inspired HD-2D graphics that push the limits of pixel art.

Final Fantasy Resonance is based on the first story arc of the mobile game Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. Far from just a direct port, it has been refined and extensively rebuilt as a full-fledged console-quality RPG experience.

Final Fantasy Resonance launches on October 22, 2026, on Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store on Windows at a suggested retail price of US$49.99. A Digital Deluxe Edition of the game, which features the base game plus useful in-game items, will be available for US$59.99. Finally, a Collector’s Edition of the game, which includes the base game and the Digital Deluxe Edition bonuses, as well as four unique physical items like an artbook, soundtrack, and a unique Final Fantasy Trading Card Game promotional card, will retail for US$209.99.
