A mere decade after it was announced, we are finally learning more about Final Fantasy XV – but what we’ve gotten in the past week is much more than just a release date. Here’s what Square Enix has in store for us in what they are calling the Final Fantasy XV Universe:
Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV
A full-length CG movie focusing on what’s happening back at home while Noctis is off on the adventure that we will explore in the game. The movie will be released worldwide before the game’s launch. Watch the announcement trailer here.
Brotherhood Final Fantasy XV
An anime series exploring the budding friendships of Noctis and his three friends, helping to set up the story within the game. The first episode is already available to stream on YouTube. The entire five-episode series will be free to watch.
Platinum Demo – Final Fantasy XV
This free download is the perfect way for first-timers and longtime fans of Final Fantasy to dive in to FFXV and explore the gameplay we can expect in the final build coming out in September. The demo was made available immediately on Xbox One and PS4 after the Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV event on Wednesday, March 30th. Watch the trailer for the demo here.
Justice Monsters Five
A mobile game for Android and iOS devices, this pinball game will also be available within Final Fantasy XV at launch. The mobile app will be available for download soon, but until then, you can preregister for it:
