After Microsoft’s latest move, announcing Xbox Series S existence and Xbox Series X price, now it’s Sony’s turn.

A PlayStation 5 showcase was announced by Sony for tomorrow, September 16, and many rumors have been spreading on the Internet. One of them involves the Final Fantasy franchise since we are reading that Final Fantasy XVI could be announced tomorrow.

This rumor could be quite weak in itself, but we have to remark that, a couple of days ago, Final Fantasy brand manager Shinji Hashimoto tweeted showing his enthusiasm for the event. And here comes the strange movement: he quickly deleted the tweet.
