Final Fantasy Resonance, the first Final Fantasy in the HD-2D style, launches on October 22, 2026 (according to Steam and Xbox Wire) on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch and Switch 2.
What is Final Fantasy Resonance?
Resonance is a single-player RPG with turn-based battles. Square Enix describes it as the first Final Fantasy in its HD-2D line, combining pixel-style visuals and 3D models with changing camera angles.
You play Rain, a knight from the kingdom of Grandshelt. After one of the crystals protecting the kingdom is destroyed, he and his childhood friend Lasswell set out to protect the others. Fina, a mysterious girl they meet in Grandshelt, joins them on the journey.
Battles reward you for exploiting weaknesses to break enemy defenses and gain extra turns, giving you an opening for powerful Resonance attacks. You can also add Visions to your party: echoes of familiar Final Fantasy characters who fight alongside you with their own skills.
Beyond the main story, there is a Colosseum and optional battles, including a showdown with Ultima Weapon. The Chamber of Arms pits you against foes sealed inside legendary weapons.
