The first of two paid Final Fantasy XVI DLC are now available

I loved Final Fantasy XVI. The new gameplay approach worked for me, and I hope to see more of that style. I will say, though, since finishing, I haven’t gone back and played through it again. This year was just too crazy with so many big games coming out going back just hasn’t been in the cards yet. But, during last night’s Game Awards Square Enix revealed new trailer that showed off two paid DLC chapters. The first DLC, titled Echoes of the Fallen is out right nowon the PlayStation Store. The second DLC, titled The Rising Tide is set to release in Spring 2024. Players can also purchase the FINAL FANTASY XVI Expansion Pass, which will include both chapters at a discounted price. You can watch the trailer below to see the DLC in action, but, if you haven’t finished the main story there are some spoilers you may want to avoid.

“Echoes of the Fallen unlocks new story, battles, weapons, accessories, level cap and more. The adventure begins before the base game’s final battle, as strange, dark crystals begin to circulate on the black market. Players will follow Clive and company during their investigations as they encounter a group of suspicious traders, leading them to a long-abandoned Fallen tower known as the Sagespire and the terrible secrets that await within.” The Rising Tide DLC will bring new challenges, including the confrontation between Clive and the Eikon Leviathan.

To help convince you to pick up Final Fantasy XVI the base game will be discounted 40% from now till December 11.
