Final Fantasy XV announced as a next-gen game, coming to PS4 and Xbox One

Square Enix has announced Final Fantasy XV for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Previously known as Final Fantasy Versus XIII, the title’s development has been expanded and evolved to take full advantage of the capabilities of next-generation platforms.

While the main concept, world and story continue to be developed as originally envisioned, the First Production Development Team has further improved Final Fantasy XV’ s action, gameplay elements and graphic quality to match the technology of the next-generation hardware.

Final Fantasy XV begins when the armed forces of Niflheim launch a devastating assault upon the Kingdom of Lucis, casting Crown Prince Noctis and his comrades out of their homes and into the fray. The engaging tale to follow draws audiences into an awe-inspiring world steeped in the rich storytelling traditions of Square Enix's renowned First Production Development team.
