Disclaimer – This information has not been verified, therefore this is not factual.

Reports are coming in from a website called FanByte that Square Enix and Team Ninja are making a Final Fantasy spin-off title that is going to play similar to a Dark Souls game. For those who do not know, Team Ninja is most famous for developing challenging titles in the past such as Ninja Gaiden for the original Xbox and Xbox 360 and most recently Nioh and Nioh 2 for the PlayStation 4 and PC. The game is also going to be titled Final Fantasy Origins and will apparently take place in one of the first worlds of the very first Final Fantasy ever created on the NES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System.)

Final Fantasy Origins is planning to be a PlayStation 5 exclusive that is eventually going to also release on PC later down the line. It is going to be one of the flagship titles to be revealed at this Square Enix’s E3 show next month. There will be a playable alpha demo released to the public sometime this summer so that the developer can gather feedback. The demo is going to have its own title and will be called “Stranger in Paradise” The game is expected to play similar to Nioh, but a bit more accessible for the mainstream audience with the Final Fantasy style and aesthetics sprinkled on top of it.

The entire rumor is unconfirmed and needs to be taken with a massive grain of salt. It’s worth noting that this specific gossip was also circulating a lot around Reddit and ResetEra for the past few days. Gaming Instincts will be keeping their eyes peeled for anymore updates in regards to Final Fantasy Origins.

Hello everyone, my name is Leo and I am the proud founder of Gaming Instincts. I've been working in the Gaming Industry for over 6 years professionally. However, in my recent times I have decided to go create a new path for myself and that path began with Gaming Instincts. I loves many different types of games genres including FPS, RTS, TPS, MMOs, Arcade Racers and many more. One of my favorite current developers is From Software the creators of the Soulsbourne games. My friends also thing I am crazy because I love trophy and achievement hunting on my PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. I always strive to obtain 100% completion including DLC on some of the hardest games that are out in the market. Most notable and proud 100%s are Evolve, Overwatch, Battleborn and both of the Evil Within titles. Over the course of my 6 year career I had the pleasure to speak to some of the biggest publishers and developers in the world including 343 Industries, Turn 10, Rare, Lionhead Studios, Naughty Dog, Ready at Dawn, Bungie, Activision, EA, Epic and many more. What does the future hold for me at Gaming Instincts and where shall we go? Only time will tell.
