Last week, the Japanese game weekly "Famitsu" reported a large amount of new information about "Final Fantasy XIII," and producers Motomu Toriyama and Tetsuya Nomura even revealed that they would release an actual playable demo of the game via PSN this year. Subsequently, foreign media reported that the game might be released in 2008.
Today, Square Enix officially issued a statement saying that all rumors regarding the release information of "Final Fantasy XIII" are baseless speculations, and the actual release date of the game has not been finally determined yet.
"Although some gaming websites have already reported on the release of 'Final Fantasy XIII,' in fact, Square Enix has never made any official announcement regarding the release information of this game, so any related reports are baseless. Once the release date is confirmed, Square Enix will issue an official statement."
