8 Most Anticipated PlayStation 4 Exclusives Of 2018

6. Dissidia Final Fantasy NT

When it's out: January 30

What it is: Square Enix's version of Super Smash Bros. dedicated wholly to characters of Final Fantasy fame. The series-spanning battle royale, which until now, has been confined to Sony's handheld platforms and Japanese arcades, makes the jump to PS4 this month, ready to realise all of your dream match-ups.

Well, almost all. With fifteen games to account for, NT (itself a port of the 2015 arcade version) Square can't possibly cram every famous face onto the character select screen, but the big names (Cloud, Sephiroth, Tidus, Kefka, Squall, etc.) are all present and accounted for, with around 28 characters planned for the console launch.

Square's aiming for a final tally of around 50 fighters, however, so if your personal favourite has so far failed to make the cut, there's still a chance they'll come, sooner or later.

P.S. Dissidia newcomers leave your fighting game preconceptions at the door, this ain't your run of the mill brawler. The above trailer will tell you that much.
