While Final Fantasy series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi is back working with Square Enix again after two decades, he says he won't be revisiting his older games, instead focusing on games he enjoys as a player.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Sakaguchi said that he specifically doesn't want to go back to any Final Fantasy games because he doesn't want it to ruin Final Fantasy XIV for him. “If I take on the Final Fantasy brand again, I don’t know if I’ll be able to genuinely enjoy Final Fantasy XIV as much,” he said.

Valorant is coming to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S as soon as next week with a limited beta test. Riot Games announced these long-awaited ports for its competitive hero shooter during Summer Game Fest 2024. Notably, while Valorant on consoles will feature cross-progression, it won't have crossplay.

Valorant Production Director Arnar Gylfason elaborated on this in a comment provided to Digital Trends.
