Fans of FINAL FANTASY XV can experience the world of Eos from a new perspective in the game’s first character-focused DLC, Episode Gladiolus. For the first time, players will set aside the swift warp-strike play style of the Crown Prince Noctis and take on the role of faithful comrade Gladiolus, who utilizes a vastly different play style emphasizing defense, blocking and counterattacks.

The episode features:

• A new story told from Gladiolus’ perspective uncovering the events that transpired when the character left the party in FINAL FANTASY XV’s main storyline

• An exhilarating combat system that capitalizes on Gladiolus’ blocking and counterattacking play style through the new “Valor” and “Rage” system

• Previously inaccessible parts of Eos that are now open for exploration

• Special items that can be carried over the main game and exclusive to those who complete Episode Gladiolus

• Two brand-new gameplay modes, “Score Attack” and “Final Trial” made available upon completing Episode Gladiolus

SQUARE ENIX has also released a free game update that adds cutscenes that enhance the Chapter 13 story experience. There are now two different playable Chapter 13 routes for you to choose from, and more powerful ring magic. The update also opens up additional areas to explore in the game.
