Final Fantasy Explorers, Square Enix's action role-playing Final Fantasy spin-off for Nintendo 3DS, launches in North America and Europe in 2016.

That's 26th January in North America and 29th January in Europe, Square Enix said in a post on the Final Fantasy Facebook page. Final Fantasy Explorers launched in Japan in December 2014.

Explorers rekindles memories of fellow Final Fantasy spin-off Crystal Chronicles, with a dash of Monster Hunter. There's single-player, multiplayer for up to four players, and a tonne of quests to get stuck into.

Check out the first 50 minutes of the Japanese version in the video below.
