Final Fantasy XIII-2 Official

By Mark

There'd been evidence of Square Enix registering the domain for Final Fantasy XIII-2 to suggest that there was a sequel in the works and now it's all official. With the strikingly strange part...it's due for release this year in Japan.

A trailer was shown off at a big secret Squar Enix event but we'll be able to see it on the 20th January so keep your eyes peeled, the trailer shows FFXIII protagonist 'Lightning' crossing swords with an unknown purple haired character.

It won't be directed by the series character designer this time but instead is handed over to Motomu Toriyama so make of that what you will. As to what type of game this will be we're not sure, it may still just be an RPG or may not but when we know you'll know.

Update - Now with extra added screenshot. Yum.
