Square Enix reportedly somehow maybe trademarked Final Fantasy XV, so my guess is that instead of being called Versus XIII, they just renamed it XV. Although I'd prefer the rumor about XV being an entirely new title directed by Hiroyuki Ito to be the one that's true!!! xD

Either that, or this rumour is total junk.  Cause as others have pointed out, there is a Versus XIII DLC song for Theatrhythm, a game intended to be a fan service filled celebration of the series. This wouldn't make any sense to make that song available (reminding everyone that the game does exist) if S-E's goal was to quietly move away from the game...


Plans to include the song in Theatrhythm go back a ways, while the rumor suggests Versus was only officially cancelled a few weeks ago.  If the song was was released for Theatrythm, it's because they probably had finished working on it and plans for it were done at a time when Versus would not have been cancelled yet.  News of the Versus song being released as DLC for Theatrythm go back as far as April 2012, which means they must have been working on it before that, and all this is long before Versus's supposed cancellation.

So the fact that a Versus song was released as DLC for Theatrhytym isn't a very strong argument.

I for one tend to believe it.  It is just ridiculous that we haven't gotten anything for over a year and a half, when you know that franchises like Mass Effect, etc. come out with one game every two years or so!!  Development has dragged on for way too long and it's clearly time for them to just move on.
