Every new FINAL FANTASY game is exciting, but this one is set to be something truly special… and very different. Allow us to introduce STRANGER OF PARADISE FINAL FANTASY ORIGIN.

Revealed during E3 2021 at our SQUARE ENIX PRESENTS livestream, the new action RPG presents a bold new vision for the FINAL FANTASY series on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC in 2022.

What’s more, there’s a trial version available on PS5 for free today, so you can experience it for yourselves. Read on and we’ll tell you how.

STRANGER OF PARADISE FINAL FANTASY ORIGIN

What is STRANGER OF PARADISE FINAL FANTASY ORIGIN?

First though, let’s talk the game itself. STRANGER OF PARADISE FINAL FANTASY ORIGIN is a brand new original game, developed in collaboration with Team NINJA from KOEI TECMO GAMES.

That’s the team behind NINJA GAIDEN and the incredible Nioh series too. They’re masters of the dark and visceral action RPG, and they’re bringing all of their brutal experience to the FINAL FANTASY series.

You take the role of Jack who, along with allies Ash and Jed, sets off on a quest to defeat Chaos. Burning with resolve, and with memories of their struggle deep in their hearts, are they the foretold Warriors of Light?

Your journey will take you into a dark and challenging fantasy world, filled with iconic monsters from the FINAL FANTASY series. Fortunately, Jack isn’t exactly defenseless - he can use powerful spells and abilities from a range of jobs, including warrior, dragoon and black mage.

If you really want to get a sense of how the game plays, you can experience it for yourself. The trial version is available today on PS5.

Once you’ve given it a go, why not share your thoughts? Those who try the game are invited to take part in a survey to provide feedback to the development team. Your thoughts can help shape the outcome of the game, so make sure you participate. You can access the survey from the menu screen of the trial version.

Now here’s all the small print and legal stuff, so buckle up. The TRIAL VERSION is available for free on PS5 beginning June 13, 2021 and until June 26, 2021 7:59 pm PT / 3:59pm BST. Once that period is over, the demo will no longer be able to be played.

You must also have an active internet connection and a PSN account to play it, and save data can not be carried over to the full version of the game.
