Cross-gen. Helix will already be out and PS6 might be, but cross-gen became even more popular this gen than it has ever been.
I'm expecting a turn-based game. I know it will have been over 25 years, but FF is at a crossroads. What does Square Enix have to lose?
It will be a multi-platform and PC game. There might be somewhat of a delay in versions possibly, but it will be transparent before release.
Likely platforms: PS5, PS6, PC, Xbox Helix
Possible: Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2. These aren't overly likely as Series S and Switch 2 are bottlenecks.
Broad Release Estimate: Not before September 2028, not after November 2030.

If the Helix can play Steam games, what's the incentive of putting out an Xbox version, especially if it flops and sells like 10 million units?  They can just put it out on Steam and Helix owners can buy it there. 

Fair point. We'll have to see how Xbox's storefront is doing by then. Because you're right, Steam would probably be enough.
