Square Enix streamed the Tokyo Game Show trailer for Final Fantasy Resonance on September 17, 2026, and confirmed the theme song "Inside" by WurtS. The HD-2D game retells the first story arc of the discontinued smartphone title Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, following Rain and Lasswell as they pursue Veritas of the Dark after the Earth Crystal is shattered. Nobuhiko Okamoto voices Rain in Japanese and Clifford Chapin in English. The game launches October 22 for Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store on Windows, with the Steam version dated October 23. At Tokyo Game Show 2026, which runs September 17 to 21 at Makuhari Messe, the Square Enix booth offers a 15-minute demo with three options: NEW GAME from the start, Dungeon Conquest, and Arena, the latter two not present in the current trial version. Demo players receive a retro package-style box and a Final Fantasy Trading Card Game promo card featuring Fina.
Square Enix bills the project as a "full-fledged console-quality RPG experience" built on the premise of "What if Final Fantasy had continued to evolve while staying in pixels?" The look mixes an HD-2D base with "Cinematic Pixel," a technique that pixelates 3DCG. Battles use turn-based commands and a job system, and the game keeps series staples such as chocobo travel, summoned beasts, and airships.
The Japanese and English voice cast runs:
- Rain: Nobuhiko Okamoto / Clifford Chapin
- Lasswell: Yusuke Kobayashi / Alejandro Saab
- Fina: Akane Fujita / Lizzie Freeman
- Veritas of the Dark: Akio Otsuka / Ian Sinclair
- Inori Minase / Corey Pettit
- Lid: Ayaka Ohashi / Elsie Lovelock
- Nichol: Tsubasa Yonaga / Khoi Dao
- Veritas of the Heavens: Show Hayami / Ricco Fajardo
- Veritas of the Waters: Kana Hanazawa / Colleen Clickenbeard
