Square Enix has announced plans to release a new Final Fantasy XVI update on December 8, although it’s nothing to get too excited about; the patch will only make adjustments to the way scores are calculated in Arcade Mode.

Here’s the full statement posted on the game’s Twitter account:

At 2 p.m. JST/6 a.m CET/12 a.m. EST on December 8, 2033 (subject to change), an update will be released which adjusts the method by which battle performance scores are calculated in Arcade Mode. It will also introduce a new leaderboard to which all new score will be recorded. Please note that after installing the update, you will no longer be able to record scores to the old leaderboard. A further announcement will be made at the time of the update’s release detailing its content.

Final Fantasy XVI was released for the PS5 back in June 2023, and you can read our full verdict on the JRPG here. Square Enix revealed in September that the games were ‘in line with our expectations,’ after reports surfaced suggesting the game wasn’t as big of a hit as the publisher had hoped for.
