Play as Noctis, the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Lucis, as you seek to reclaim your homeland from the imperial army.

Face thrilling combat as you learn to master your weaponry and magic skills by channeling the power of your ancestors.

Story

The game takes place in a world similar to modern-day Earth. The nations of the world once waged war over control of the world's crystals, and all but the nation of Lucis have lost theirs and regressed to medieval societies. Noctis Lucis Caelum, Crown Prince of the kingdom of Lucis—having gained magical power from a near-death experience—is driven from his home when the empire of Niflheim invades Lucis on the eve of the final peace negotiations between the two nations. Now on the run with his companions, Noctis begins to work towards defeating the forces of Niflheim and rescuing the crystal from their control.

What is happening now

Final Fantasy XV is an action-RPG that launched in 2016, following Prince Noctis across an open world filled with real-time combat and narrative-driven storytelling. The game has remained available across multiple platforms since its original release. Recent developments confirm that Noctis will be making an appearance in a new Final Fantasy entry arriving on October 22, marking the character's return to the franchise. Details about the exact nature of this appearance and which platforms will support it remain limited based on current coverage.
