KessCo has secured a licensing deal with Square Enix to create tabletop products based on Final Fantasy I–VI Pixel Remaster, including a cooperative board game series starting with titles I–III and collectible dice sets. The lineup debuts at New York Toy Fair 2026, with the first board game launching in Q3 2026.
KessCo, a tabletop gaming company, announced a collaboration with Square Enix on March 9, 2026, to produce products inspired by the early Final Fantasy titles in their Pixel Remaster versions. The partnership includes a multi-game board game series and RPG dice sets, capturing the essence of the original JRPGs.
The debut board game, focusing on Final Fantasy I–III, is a cooperative adventure for 1-4 players. Players assemble teams like the Light Warriors, select jobs, explore a modular map, and engage in turn-based combat with short quests leading to NES-era-style boss fights, completable in one evening. Future releases will expand the series.
Complementing the games are dice sets for Final Fantasy I–VI, packaged in sculpted pixel-style character containers with dice featuring classic game interface colors and designs, suitable for play or display.
Alex Kessler, KessCo CEO, said: “We’ve seen how powerful Final Fantasy can be in the tabletop space recently, bringing longtime fans and brand-new players into a shared experience. We’re excited to partner with Square Enix and continue that momentum with our own faithful adaptation that honors what fans love most about the Pixel Remaster Era while delivering something fun, accessible, and collectible for the tabletop community.”
This builds on Final Fantasy's growing tabletop presence after the record-breaking 2025 Magic: The Gathering crossover, the best-selling set in that game's history. The franchise has sold over 207 million units worldwide.
