It will take about a year's work if "Final Fantasy XV" will be released on PC, Hajime Tabata revealed.

In an interview with Spanish website Vida Extra, which was translated by WCCFTech, the game director of the upcoming open world action role-playing video game revealed that "Final Fantasy XV" could still have a PC version, but it may not be released together with the game's console version in November.

"On that hypothesis, not talking about something real, just an idea, if we worked on a PC version what I have very clear is that we would work to provide a better version of what we have now on consoles. We could say that something like this would take us more than a year. We should work to adapt the engine, which is very laborious, and from there to develop its course," Tabata said in the interview.

But while the PC edition of "Final Fantasy XV" remains unclear, Tabata revealed that Square Enix will work on the support for upcoming game consoles like the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One S after the game comes out on the market. Aside from coming up with game enhancements for the new consoles, there is also a possibility that a DLC that will be made especially for the upcoming PlayStation VR could be in the works.

"What you saw at E3 was just a technical demo. I'm talking about a whole new DLC so you can play from VR. Not the whole, of course, would be additional game content, perhaps a particular part of the game to be enjoyed in virtual reality," Tabata said.

The 15th main installment of the "Final Fantasy" video game series was supposed to be released on Sept. 30, but Square Enix decided to push back the game's release date for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles two months later to Nov. 29 to further polish the game and avoid any possible glitches during its first day in the market.

Fans who are avidly waiting for more information about the game need not worry since more details about the release of "Final Fantasy XV" video game are expected to be revealed by Square Enix in the coming days.
