Final Fantasy 16 voice actors have confirmed they’ll be attending Gamescom 2024, hinting at an upcoming announcement. Gamescom is a video game trade show held in Cologne, Germany, where developers and publishers often share big news and reveals. This year’s Gamescom is scheduled for August 21-25, and at least two major FF16 voice actors will be in attendance.

Stewart Clarke, the English voice actor for Dion in Final Fantasy 16, announced on X that he’ll be at Gamescom in 2024. He shares: “Excited for @gamescom this year for absolutely no reason 👀” The cryptic post heavily hints that his attendance at the show means an official announcement about the game is coming.


The idea of an FF16 announcement is reinforced by another key actor from the game who plans to make an appearance. Clive’s German voice actor, Vincent Fallow, shared on X that he’ll also be attending Gamescom this year. Though his post is less cryptic and more straightforward, the presence of at least two FF16 characters at this important event is probably not a coincidence.

Square Enix hasn’t abandoned Final Fantasy 16. The game has been kept alive with new content, like The Rising Tide DLC that was released in April. Rumors abound about what news could be coming at Gamescom, and one theory is that another DLC is on the way. Since Stewart Clarke is Dion’s voice actor in the game, FF16’s next content update may involve the beloved secondary character. Square Enix hasn’t made any announcements regarding future DLC yet, so they may have been saving the news for Gamescom.

A more likely announcement is the release date for the PC and Xbox ports of Final Fantasy 16. Fans have been eagerly awaiting this port, which was confirmed to be nearing completion in March. Although there has been no official confirmation that the game would come to Xbox, the developer has stated recently that they want to bring FF16 to other platforms.


Final Fantasy 16 is beloved by both fans and critics, and it’s currently sitting at a comfortable 87 score on Metacritic. No matter what news is revealed at Gamescom this month, fans will likely be thrilled at the excuse to return to the game.
