Final Fantasy XIII-2 (ファイナルファンタジーXIII-2 Fainaru Fantajī Sātīn Tsū?) is an upcoming console role-playing video game developed and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360. Due to be released in Japan in 2011 and North America as well as Europe in Winter 2012, it is the sequel to Final Fantasy XIII. The game will once again feature Lightning as the main character. Square Enix Europe has said that the game "exceeds Final Fantasy XIII in every aspect", including the battle system.The game was officially announced on January 18, 2011, with a teaser trailer and a logo at the Square Enix 1st Production Department Premier in Tokyo, Japan by director Motomu Toriyama. The teaser trailer showed Lightning wearing armor engaging in a fight against a mysterious male warrior. The teaser trailer was officially released on January 20, 2011, and can be viewed on the game's official websites.
Talk of a sequel came as early as January 2010; the game's art director mentioned in an interview that the amount of working art assets that were cut from the final product was enough to make up an entire game. In March 2010, during an interview with Kitase, producer for the game, he was asked about the possibility of a sequel. In response, he replied, "If we could do a XIII-2, we could direct all our attention to the story and refine what we have already built." On December 15, 2010 Tetsuya Nomura, character designer for the game, released a drawing of Lightning, along with the words "She must not be forgotten". On January 11, 2011, Square Enix registered the domain name FinalFantasy13-2game.com via a proxy company that it had used to register websites for several other unannounced games at the time, including Mindjack and Nier.
