Square Enix has announced thatĀ Final Fantasy VI Pixel RemasterĀ will release in North America on Android, iOS and Steam on February 23rd.
A February window had been given last year following a delay, although this is the first confirmation of a specific launch date.
Square Enix’s Pixel RemasterĀ series takes the first six Final Fantasy games from the NES and SNES eras and gives them a visual update. Specifically, the games feature updated pixel character designs from Kazuko Shibuya, the original Final Fantasy pixel artist.
Other enhancements include a rearranged soundtrack overseen by originalĀ Final Fantasy VIĀ composer Nobuo Uematsu, auto-battle options and a bestiary.
The first fiveĀ Pixel Remasters all launched on mobile and Steam last year. Square Enix hasn’t yet confirmed any console releases.
Originally released on the SNES in 1994,Ā Final Fantasy VIĀ tells the story of a young girl with mysterious powers named Terra as she gets swept up in a rebellion against a ruthless empire.Ā VI is widely considered to be one of the greatest games ever made, making theĀ Pixel Remaster release particularly exciting for fans.
