Learn the Truth Behind Final Fantasy XV’s Villain

Square Enix today announced that the latest DLC, “Episode Ardyn” will release on March 26th. Before then, fans can watch Final Fantasy XV Episode Ardyn – Prologue, an animated short that serves as a prequel.

In Final Fantasy XV: Episode Ardyn players can experience a brand new storyline from the perspective of Ardyn Lucis Caelum. Set 35 years before the events of Final Fantasy XV, follow the notorious villain through being freed from an extra-long life of imprisonment and entering the world of darkness, to seeking vengeance against the Lucian royal family.

Players can utilize Ardyn’s villainous powers that can devastate his enemies in daemonic ways, as well as fly freely across the map, quickly moving around Insomnia by Shadow-Stepping to map points. Fans of Final Fantasy XV will also enjoy encountering familiar faces, albeit younger versions than have been seen before as well as new characters such as the scientist Verstael Besithia and the priestess Aera Mirus Fleuret.
