Back when Square first published minimum and recommended system requirements for A Realm Reborn, it was said that initially the PC variant would launch on its current DX9 engine but a DX11 engine would be made available not long after launch.

Well, the PS4 version has now launched, and with that, all platforms targeted by the game are officially live. This means that unless plans have changed, the new graphics engine could be the next big thing in development.

Now I must admit that I haven't been following any news or live letters or thereabouts between October and April, because RL kept me busy with things other than gaming. So now I'm wondering: did I miss anything? Have there been any official statements regarding this rumored DX11 engine? Has it been given a roadmap, or has it been canceled? Did Square maybe show something of it off? Did any questions during the various live letters ask about it, and what were the responses?

Inquiring minds want to know!
