Square Enix has said that it has an "exciting announcement" for Final Fantasy XIII, speculated to be a Western release date.

A company newsletter sent to European users hinted that new footage and news will be unveiled at the end of this week.

It read: "We've got an exciting announcement coming up on November 13, where we'll be showing off some awesome new footage from the game and... we can't say! You'll have to see for yourself!"

Square Enix brand manager Antonio Marfuggi stated that "something big" is coming to the PlayStation Blog, which will be presented by producer Yoshinori Kitase.
