No Final Fantasy XVI for those residing in Saudi Arabia. The news was announced on the twitter by the body that takes care of the indicative classification of the games there.
According to what has been reported, the game will not be released because Square Enix is not willing to make the necessary changes to it for that.
Saudi Arabia’s strictness towards issues involving violence, gambling, nudity, sex, drug use, alcohol, and more certainly led to the banning of Final Fantasy XVI. This franchise game will have a more adult footprint, with it having already been classified for over 16 years old in Brazil.
Other popular titles that have been banned in the Arab country include games from the God of War and GTA franchises, The Last of Us Part II, among others.
Final Fantasy XVI will be released on June 22 for PS5.
