All six titles' character pixel art have been remastered from their original versions by the games' original pixel artist Kazuko Shibuya, who has worked on the Final Fantasy series since the first game. The spritework appears to be partially based on the art featured in FF DOT: The Pixel Art of Final Fantasy, a 2018 art book that featured re-imagined sprites from many titles in the series, and Final Fantasy Dimensions. It’s unclear whether Square Enix will make any tweaks to the games’ stories or gameplay, but that seems extremely unlikely.įinal Fantasy Pixel Remaster does not yet have a release date, but Square Enix says the collection will be available “soon”.Announced on Jas part of Square Enix Presents Summer Showcase for E3 2021 and published on iOS, Android, and Microsoft Windows via Steam between July 2021 and February 2022, the pixel remaster series was promoted as being the 'ultimate 2D remasters' of their respective games. While games like Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy VI continue to shine despite their age, other titles in the collection, like Final Fantasy II, have not aged quite as well.

It’s unclear whether the games will be bundled together in one package, as is suspected, or whether they’ll be released individually.

Square Enix did not provide any additional information beyond a very short trailer showing screenshots from the original games. The name Pixel Remaster hopefully implies that the series’ art will be going back to its sharp-edged roots, as does the fact that Square is calling the games “the ultimate 2D remasters.”
