Final Fantasy XV: Episode Ignis releases December 13.
During Sony's presentation at Paris Games Week, we finally learned the release date for the last of the initial set of character episodes for Final Fantasy XV. Episode Ignis will release on December 13 . This news along with the fact that Comrades multiplayer expansion was delayed until early next month after initially being slated to release tomorrow means that Final Fantasy XV fans will have a lot to look forward to as the year closes out. We even learned that Yasunori Mitsuda has worked on the soundtrack for the episode, his first partnership with Square since 1999's Chrono Cross.
All signs point to Final Fantasy XV story content continuing into next year. Check out the full trailer for Episode Ignis below!
Square also posted a video interview with Matsuda.
