Square Enix has ceased development of Final Fantasy Versus 13 more than six years after the project was first announced, a new report suggests.

The PlayStation 3 action RPG was announced in May 2006. Since then, however, we've only snatched glimpses of it, and there's been no official update for some time.

No public statement will be made on the decision, a source toldKotaku. Square Enix is apparently keen to avoid any acknowledgement that could impact the company's stock price.

Resources from the project have now been moved to the next numbered Final Fantasy title, Final Fantasy 15.

Eurogamer has contacted Square Enix for comment, and we'll update if we hear back.

Meanwhile, more details on the future of the Final Fantasy 13 project - which already spans a number of games - will be announced in September, Square Enix has announced.

A presentation entitled "Final Fantasy 13 Lightning Saga: New Developments Presentation" will take place on 1st September as part of a 25th Anniversary event for the series.

Square Enix has previously teasedmore Final Fantasy 13 content- although it's unclear whether this means additional Final Fantasy 13-2 DLC or a fully-fledged Final Fantasy 13-3.

Is anyone really surprised? This project has only been limping around for 6 whole years in the shadows. Kind of like Bruce Wayne, give or take a few years.

They cancelled one Final Fantasy game I knew nothing about and are instead making some other Final Fantasy game I know nothing about.

Meh, whatever.

Totally not surprised. It's about time too. I was excited about it long ago, but they took so long that my excitement died out.

Without confirmation form SE we can't know for sure if this is true, but I wouldn't be surprised in the least bit nor would I care. I stopped caring about the game a long time ago. I would have been excited for it the day it was in my hands, but other than that I payed it no mind. To be honest, maybe its better if they cancelled it anyway. Let the team get working on Kingdom Hearts III already.

Final Fantasy Versus 13 cancelled? Or did Square Enix decide to move this game to Playstation 4. I do remember that originally the Final Fantasy 13 Crystal Nova was to be a trio of games. So thus far 2 of 3 Final fantasy games have been released on PS3.

So if they move this to Playstation 4 maybe there could be a Final Fantasy game at launch on PS4. Hopefully Square Enix has decided to move on the Playstation 4 for whatever they have planned for the Next Final Fantasy installment.

Well, think about it this way: If this is indeed true, it just means we might see Kingdom Hearts 3 sooner!

Honestly, they'll probably be allotting the resources from FFVersusXIII into a more stand-alone title since the XIII brand is convoluted enough as it is.

IGN had reported that Versus is officially cancelled on Friday. They also announced in related news, that a FFXIII realted title will be announced on September 1st, Called FFXIII "Lightning's Saga", and will most likely be a FF XIII-3 game.

Unfortunately, if you were not a fan of FFXIII, your doing a lot of waiting for the next rendition of the game...

At this point, and at this price, its not a bad idea to grab XIII and XIII-2 IMO, the games weren't the best, but they are worth a play, especially if you are a die hard FF fan....it doesn't seem like the XIII series is going away this generation.

There is still hope, since SE has not officially announced.

Yep, not only do they suck so much as a game dev, but they also have to troll fans by waiting days to denounce the rumor.

What a f-ing joke of a company. XIII series sucks so much.
