Looking for more Final Fantasy goodness after the letdown of Kingdom Hearts III? Look no further. Square-Enix released a special Q&A video for the upcoming Episode Ardyn, the long-awaited last planned piece of Final Fantasy XV DLC. With the video featuring scenario director Toru Osanai, Director Takefumi Terada and Producer Yuji Shinoda, they finally announced a release date of March 26, 2019, for the content. No price for Episode Ardyn has been specified currently.

The only one of the second wave of DLC for the game to survive cancellation after director Hajime Tabata’s much-publicized departure from the company, the episode is heralded by the release of the animated Episode Ardyn - Prologue which just released on Youtube and Crunchyroll. The Prologue tells the backstory of the game's central villain over several centuries and is stated to lead into the plot of the DLC.
