Square Enix considering episodic releases?

Recommended Videos

Could you imagine? Final Fantasy XV Episode 2: The Whining or something like that? They’re really thinking along those lines.

Square Enix CEO Phil rogers told Develop that it could come in the next three years: “Will we see our games split into episodes? It’s not something that we are particularly planning, but I’ve no doubt that we will be over the next three years.”

That doesn’t sound particularly solid for the case of episodic release schedules, but look at what Rogers says about DLC:“Digital is now a massive part of our focus. How we offer content to consumers via digital download is very important to us, and premium downloadable content is an absolute must for the titles that we launch.”

If you look at Square Enix’s flagship franchise, Final Fantasy, it’s not hard to imagine retooling their games to fit this release method.

I’d have no issue with episodic releases as long as the total cost of the parts wouldn’t exceed the price of a normal release. What about you?
