Square Enix Reveals Their PAX East 2020 Lineup

Square Enix has revealed what they'll be bringing to the dance this week at PAX East, and what they have in store is kind of surprising. First, what caught us off guard is that there isn't a lot here. Which is surprising for SE. However, what they are bringing is pretty big. As always, Final Fantasy XIV will be at the con featuring the game's latest updates and content to come. Second, they are bringing a demo of Final Fantasy VII Remake for everyone to play. Third, and a little out of the blue since we assumed it would be saved for E3 2020, the company is bringing Outriders for everyone to try out. Which won't even be released until the holidays, so you're getting to see it nine months ahead of time. Here's what else Square Enix has planned for PAX East.
