If you take even a quick glance at a release schedule for the next six months, you’ll see that there are a heck of a lot of games coming out. Look a little closer, though, and you’ll spot that maybe 50 of them are from Square Enix. And that’s just on the Switch!<\/p>\n

We’re exaggerating, of course, but it’s hard to ignore the company’s absolutely massive output over the next few months \u2014 and for the whole of 2022, really. We’re not going to list every single 2022 Square Enix Switch release here because that would take up a lot of space (though you can check all of its games out right here, or scroll to the bottom of this article). However, from September until next year Square Enix is developing and\/or publishing 13 games on Switch alone. Phew!<\/em> And of course, we’re including PowerWash Simulator in that.<\/p>\n

Look, we’re not complaining \u2014 it’s actually kind of amazing to see Square Enix put out this many titles, and it feels like we’re in another golden age with Square and Nintendo, just like the NES and SNES days. But with the September Nintendo Direct, our jaws couldn’t help but drop with every new Square Enix announcement.<\/p>\n

We got release dates for two titles, a demo for another, and two brand new reveals in Theatrhythm Final Bar Line and Octopath Traveler II for February 2023. On other platforms, Square Enix also has Final Fantasy XVI coming out next summer. On top of everything else! How has this come to pass?<\/p>\n
