The groundhog saw his shadow and now there’s four more Final Fantasy XV DLCs on the way

We sort of knew they were coming

Man! Final Fantasy XV.

For months I’ve talked about how this single game has become a series with more man hours put into it than entire indie studios in their lifetime. At first it was silly, but now it’s a force to be reckoned with. If you thought the initial salvo of DLC episodes was it (just three, one for each of Noctis’ friends/party members) — you were sorely mistaken.

Announced at PAX East, Square Enix is getting ready to dump four more episodes on us later this year (Ardyn, Aranea, Lunafreya, Noctis, in order). We knew about Ardyn for sure and basically knew a few others would be getting side stories, but now it’s entirely confirmed and on a special calendar. These episodes are said to come rapid-fire in January 2019, at a rate of one per month. Episode Noctis eh? I thought that was called “Final Fantasy XV.”

Oh, and this summer, Comrades, the multiplayer thing you may or may not have played (or even heard of) is becoming a standalone release, and will be updated throughout 2019. Strap yourselves in folks — that “Royal Edition” is far from complete.
