Square Enix announced that Final Fantasy XV is getting its Comrades multiplayer expansion that puts you and other players in the role of Kingsglaive survivors.
[Warning: Spoilers below in Square Enix’s official description]
For the first time, Final Fantasy XV players will be able to create their own character and join up with three other friends to take on epic quests and battles in the game’s first and only online multiplayer expansion titled “Comrades.” Starting October 31, players will set foot as a survivor from Kingsglaive to find out more about the disappearance of Noctis after the events in Chapter 13 from the main game.
Set in a world engulfed by darkness, the expansion casts players as a member of the Kingsglaive, with powers and unique abilities invoked from various Lucian kings, who join forces to bring the Light back to the kingdom of Lucis. Other members of Noctis’s crew including Gladiolus, Prompto and Ignis will be made playable in future game updates.
As members of Kingsglaive, players equip royal sigils that grant special powers from the Lucian bloodline. Players can then strategize and create a balanced team to take on a variety of quests. In addition to multiplayer quests, single player quests are also available for players to enhance their characters.
Additionally, Nobuo Uematsu has a new song for the expansion called “Choosing Hope” that you’ll get to check out when Comrades launches on October 31, 2017.
Final Fantasy XV is available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
