Final Fantasy 16 Retains Top Spot in Famitsu’s Most Wanted Charts

The PS5 RPG retook the top spot in Famitsu's charts for the most highly anticipated games a couple weeks ago, and has held on to that position.

A couple of weeks ago, Final Fantasy 16 reclaimed the top spot in Famitsu’s weekly charts for the most highly anticipated upcoming games, as decided by votes from readers. In this week’s charts, the Square Enix RPG is in the No. 1 spot once again. Splatoon 3, meanwhile, hangs on to the second spot as well.

Alongside Final Fantasy 16, Square Enix has another Final Fantasy game in the top 10, with Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth taking the sixth spot. Beyond that, however, the charts are dominated by upcoming Switch releases, as they generally tend to be.

Bayonetta 3 comes in at fourth place, followed by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s sequel at No. 5, and Pokemon Scarlet and Violet coming in at No. 6. Dragon Quest Treasures takes the No. 9 spot, while SD Gundam Battle Alliance, which hadn’t yet launched when voting for these charts took place, comes in at No. 10.
