'Final Fantasy XV' Goes Gold, Reveals Co-op Multiplayer And More DLC Plans

First of all, congratulations are due to a feat ten years in the making: Final Fantasy XV has announced DLC plans that include co-op multiplayer, and that’s a big deal, but even more importantly, Final Fantasy XV has officially gone gold.

What does that mean? It means Final Fantasy XV is officially done with its development and is ready to get pressed onto discs. After ten years and numerous changes in direction, this is a massive achievement.

At Paris Games Week today, the Final Fantasy XV team also announced their plans for DLC. One major DLC titled “Comrade” will include co-op multiplayer, letting you and your three bros pal around the world. This DLC will be a part of the $24.99 season pass but will also be priced separately in case you’re not into all that.

The three other major DLC packs announced today allow you to play as Gladio, Ignis or Prompto. Episode Gladiolus will be the first DLC to be released, followed by Episode Ignis and Episode Prompto, all of which will be available for individual purchase also. The “Comrade” DLC that allows co-op multiplayer will be available after each character’s episode DLC. Other DLC packs include an item pack and a “Holiday” pack.

"The main focus of the season pass is three original episodes that take place during the events of Final Fantasy XV," Square Enix said in a press release. "Each episode allows players to take control of one of Noctis' comrades in all-new adventures that offer unique play styles tailored to each character. Players can explore previously unseen areas filled with new monsters, and even obtain weapons that can later be used in the main game."

Final Fantasy XV releases for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Nov. 29. Check out the new “Omen” trailer, gameplay deets about Moogles, and all the extra goodies stuffed into the base game.
