Final Fantasy 16 has another high-caliber competitor this month: it’s the most anticipated game of June 2023.
In a year that promised a lot and also responds convincingly to expectations, June appears to be one of the busiest months ever, because some of the major releases of 2023 and beyond are concentrated there. Under this situation, the victory of “Al” has more value Final Fantasy 16 is the most anticipated game of the month of June; A victory that made the editor and readers agree. Square Enix’s game has, in recent months, been the really old promotional hero, with numerous presentations, quizzes and interviews of developers involved in a sort of international tour to launch the new chapter of a core series for the respective publisher.
The fact that this represents for all intents and purposes the main PS5 exclusive of the period, not to mention for much of the year, also puts it in a special light, and bears it with even more expectations: that and the fact that it appears to be a marked evolution of the original formula are the reasons that put Final Fantasy 16 in The center of attention, despite the fact that the competition does not decrease at all, on the contrary. Let’s see how the vote went.
Most anticipated by the editorial board
It was not easy to emerge as the winner of the internal vote Editorial board, but in the end, Final Fantasy 16 manages to be the first, albeit with a few points of difference. Curiosity to see how Naoki Yoshida and company manage to flip the series’ typical structure is really overrated, so it’s understandable how a Square Enix title has managed to stand out the most, despite having fierce competitors and one in particular that we can define as a mammoth. Upon closer examination, the result was not at all clear, at least not in this context, but in the end Final Fantasy 16 turned out to be the most awaited game of June 2023 also for the editorial team at Multiplayer.it.
It was evident that it was difficult for him Diablo 4 Having so many die-hard fans here is probably the prime suspect in emerging as the most anticipated game of the month. His second position was a surprise in some ways, and perhaps some significant absences during voting also affected this outcome, which allowed Final Fantasy 16 to prevail.
In any case, the gap between first and second place was minimal, showing that June basically sees a duopoly between these two matches. The platform is clearly closing with Street Fighter 6, another title of gigantic proportions that will arrive in a very rich month: as evidenced by the enthusiastic reception, here again is a truly extraordinary game. Off the platform, the one title that has finally popped up a bit is Amnesia: The Bunker.
Most anticipated by readers
A similar situation occurred with the editorial vote in the poll distributed to Multiplayer.it readers as you see. Also in this case, the winner is Final Fantasy 16, who collects the majority of votes, but with a small margin compared to the runner-up. The aggressive promotion these days does nothing but remind us of the importance of the Square Enix game, which presents itself as the biggest exclusive of this video game season, waiting to be able to see the game in a more complete way. The structure’s shift from turn-based JRPG to real-life action has left many historical fans of the series scratching their heads, but on fact-testing it looks convincing and still serves to revamp the classic structure, managing to make it interesting again at the cost of slightly distorting the “spirit of the original.” for the series”.
In second place, just a few percentage points away, we also find Diablo 4 here: Blizzard’s action RPG has been one of the most anticipated games for several years, so it’s only natural that it achieves these results. On the other hand, the first revisions and tests have proven the quality of the new chapter, waiting to see the long-term effects of the new structure. Below those two June behemoths we find just Street Fighter 6, but a long way from the first two very close together: Capcom’s fighting game manages to gather favorites with a single-digit percentage and is slightly off the bottom. While for the rest we only find crumbs of superlatives towards Aliens: Dark Descent, F1 23, Amnesia: The Bunker and little other.
