Final Fantasy XIII Announcement Incoming on September 1

Square Enix will share more details about its next Final Fantasy XIII project on September 1.

We told you previously that the company was set to make an announcement at the Final Fantasy 25th anniversary event in Shibuya, but now we know slightly more.

According to Andriasang the Final Fantasy XIII stage will take place at 11.30 on September 1 and will be titled "Final Fantasy XIII Lightning Saga: New Developments Presentation". The game's producer, director, art director and other members of staff will attend.

We've talked before about the possibility of Final Fantasy XIII-3 being revealed, and the fact the news is about the "Lightning Saga" still makes this the likeliest option. Despite this, we doubt we're alone in hoping something is said about Final Fantasy Versus XIII and whether it's been cancelled or not.

The Final Fantasy 25th anniversary event will take place from August 31 to September 2, with other panels set to include a Final Fantasy XI music presentation and new details about Final Fantasy XIV version 2.0.
