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

Though it fell down to second place in last week's charts, the upcoming PS5 RPG has once again reclaimed its throne.

Final Fantasy 16 has been consistently topping Famitsu’s weekly charts for the most highly anticipated upcoming games, as decided by votes from their readers, though last week, its long streak was broken when it was toppled from the top by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s still-unnamed sequel. This week, however, we’re back to status quo, with Final Fantasy 16 retaking the top spot.

Breath of the Wild’s sequel, meanwhile, has dropped straight to No. 4, trailing the games above it by a decent margin. Dragon Quest 10 Offline is in second place, while Bayonetta 3 takes No. 3. Meanwhile, fellow upcoming Switch exclusives in Splatoon 3 (at No. 6) and Kirby and the Forgotten Land (at No. 8) are still hovering around in there as well.

Elden Ring (which actually occupies two positions in the top 10 across the PS5 and PS4 versions), Triangle Strategy, and Gran Turismo 7 are all out now, but all figure in the top 10 as well, since they hadn’t yet launched when voting for these charts took place.

You can check out the full top 10 below. All votes were cast by Famitsu readers between February 10 and February 16.
