A King's Tale: Final Fantasy XV goes free for everyone March 1

Retro-styled A King’s Tale: Final Fantasy XV will be available as a free download for everyone starting March 1, Square Enix announced today. Previously only had as a pre-order bonus through certain retailers, this action game takes place 30 years before Final Fantasy XV proper.

To separate itself from the main game, action here is centered around King Regis and his companions (Weskham, Cid and Clarus) defending the royal capital from raiding monsters. Here’s a list of key features you can expect:

  • Deep Combat System – Combos, counters, and Regis’ signature “Warp Strike” combine for lightning fast real-time combat that rewards fast reflexes and smart tactics.
  • Companions – Three distinct companions offer unique and new ways to attack as well as tailored super moves that deal massive damage.
  • Magic – Ignite the battlefield, freeze your enemies, or electrify your foes with Fire, Ice, and Lightning magic.
  • Summons – Call upon epic Astral entities to decimate your foes in jaw-dropping ways.
