Square Enix have announced FOAMSTARS, a brand-new online multiplayer shooter coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. This Splatoon and Ninjala-like shooter is currently in development at Square Enix with no confirmed release date. However, a few new details and an announcement trailer were revealed during PlayStation Showcase 2023.
FOAMSTARS is a online multiplayer shooter where players compete in battle arenas with foam acting as a vital resource. Weapons will shoot foam that may build terrain and act as a defensive measure for allies. Additionally, foam may be used offensively to take over areas and defeat opponents. Square Enix plans on sharing more information about FOAMSTARS in the near future, and the company encourages fans to stay tuned.
“In this game, foam is the ultimate resource,” Square Enix said in a press release. “It can be used in multiple ways: To create slippery surfaces that players can use to surf around the arena at high speed; to build terrain, helping players defend from enemy attacks or creating high vantage points to take out opponents; and finally, to foam up the opposition and win the match.”

During PlayStation Showcase 2023, Square Enix also shared the launch trailer for Final Fantasy XVI. The “Salvation” takes another look into the highly anticipated action RPG before its June 22 launch. Fans may also look forward to a new Final Fantasy XVI demo, which supports save data transfers into the full game.
“Titled ‘Salvation,’ the trailer sets the stage for what players can expect when they step into Valisthea next month, where we see the harsh circumstances faced by the Bearers, those born with the ability to cast magicks at will, and we see the truth that lies behind the Mothercrystals, long supposed to have bestowed blessings upon humanity,” Square Enix said in a press release. “The new trailer also offers a glimpse of the first steps of Clive Rosfield, the protagonist of the game, as he and his allies fight to take back control of their fate.”
Lastly, FOAMSTARS is coming soon to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
