Sony announces Final Fantasy 16 themed PlayStation 5 bundle, but it's Japan only
Pre-orders Clive next month.
Sony has announced a Final Fantasy 16 themed PlayStation 5 bundle, but it's only available in Japan.
The limited edition bundle includes the console with special face plates - themed with the game's logo of Eikons Phoenix and Ifrit in battle - as well as a specially designed controller. Of course, it comes with a code for the game too.
However, outside of Japan there's simply a bundle with the game, minus the fancy themed hardware.
It's a shame as the sleek black theming actually looks great - minimalist and not tacky. It's available in Japan from 22nd June, the same day as the game's release.

Still, the game itself is looking incredible - check out my thoughts on the real-time action combat and watch a full rundown of gameplay from Sony's most recent State of Play event.
