SQUARE ENIX® announced that two all-new FINAL FANTASY XVI™ game-tie-in books are slated to arrive in 2026 from their Square Enix Books imprint, beginning in March with the English-language publication of LOGOS: The World of Final Fantasy XVI.

FINAL FANTASY XVI introduced the world to Valisthea, a wondrous realm of sword and sorcery. Players learned details about its characters and kingdoms through the game, but what of its history, its geography, its people? For those who seek knowledge of the land blessed in the light of the Mothercrystals, look no further than LOGOS: The World of Final Fantasy XVI!
What makes this book truly special are contributions from three of FINAL FANTASY XVI’s English-language voice cast. The voice of Clive, Ben Starr, voice of Dion, Stewart Clarke, and voice of Gav, Christopher York, all lend their talents as writers to bring their characters to life within the pages of this tome.
