During the livestream at E3, Square Enix today announced Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin. With Final Fantise X, Keoi Tecmo Games has teamed up with Team Ninja, creators of the popular Ninja Gaiden and Nioh series, to create a brand new action role-playing game. Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin will be available in 2022 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC.
While it is FINAL FANTASY, it feels different—but there’s no doubt that the blood of FINAL FANTASY runs through its veins. We’ve undertaken the challenge of finding this difficult middle ground for this mature and stylish title. We need a little time until we’re able to complete it, and while the battle system is a bloody one, it does link to the story, so I hope you’ll use this opportunity to give it a try.

During the showcase, the Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin Trial Version was revealed, giving players a taste of the full game centered around Jack and Ash and Jed as they open the Chaos Shrine’s gates. Are these pillars of Light, burning in their determination to defeat Chaos, and with the memories of their struggle buried deep in their hearts?

Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin offers an exciting dark fantasy world for players to explore as they combat legendary monsters and use powerful spells and abilities from jobs such as warrior, dragoons, and black mage.
I’m truly happy to be involved with a new FINAL FANTASY, and a title connected to its origin at that. Using the feedback that the players provide after playing the trial version, all of us at Team NINJA will work to make this a title that meets the expectations of not only action game fans, but also FINAL FANTASY series fans around the world
