Square Enix announced today that one of the best Final Fantasies is coming to PC and smart phones sometime in 2016.

Square promises new features like, “high-definition graphics, newly added achievements, auto-save, high speed mode, and several game boosting features,” similar to the other ports of FFVII and FFVIII.

There is no word on a western release, but it’s safe to assume that it will make it to the U.S. just like the Final Fantasy ports before it. Check out the trailer below for a look at the high res textures.

Spring 2016 to be exact. Lionhead Studios says that the game is great, but it is becoming a lot bigger than they thought it would be. “It’s simply the most ambitious game we’ve ever created at Lionhead,” says Fable Legends’ creative director. The news may be a bit of a downer, but Lionhead says they will be adding an additional 100,000 fan into the Fable Legends closed beta over the next few weeks.

DICE is Now Moving on to Working on the Next Battlefield Game

DICE’s development director tweeted recently that he will be moving on to the project since Star Wars Battlefront is now done.

Work is still being done for Battlefront DLC and such, but the team will now start to focus on the next true Battlefield installment.

Others on twitter, including myself, have already been a bit concerned. DICE has handled the Battlefield series pretty well for the most part aside from Battlefield 4 being a bit buggy, but you just have to wonder if it will be a true Battlefield game and not super casual like Battlefront is. Only time will tell.

The next Battlefield is slated for a holiday 2016 release.

The same team that brought us the magnificent Street Fighter: Assassins Fist, is bring us a new chapter in the Street Fighter saga.

The trailer gives us a look at Guile’s long time best buddy, Charlie. This is the new version of Charlie though, the same version featured in Street Fighter V. Judging from the title of the series, we could possibly get a good look into what exactly happened to Charlie. It’s perfect timing considering Street Fighter V comes out in February.

Here is the trailer:
