March 31, 2016

With Dark Souls III set to be released on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on April 12th, Bandai Namco is taking something of an interesting approach for the upcoming title. Since they have already released a launch trailer for the title, they are now returning with a brand new animated trailer directed by the famed director Eli Roth.

The man who has worked on horror titles such as Cabin Fever and Hostel, has produced “The Witches” Dark Souls III animated trailer which is an original story set in the game’s world where a lonely world-weary knight finds himself in an incredibly deadly situation when confronted by three witches. You can check out that video plus a behind-the-scenes video below.

Final Fantasy XV ‘Reclaim Your Throne’ Trailer Set to “Stand By Me” Cover

Now that we know exactly when to expect Final Fantasy XV and have learned about all of the supporting products that will be released around the game, Square Enix has released a set of videos showing off new footage of the game and since the bonds between Noctis, his family, and his friends will play a pivotal role in the game, it only makes sense that a certain familiar song be chosen as a theme song.

The song is a cover of Ben E. King’s “Stand By Me” and is performed by Florence + the Machine and you can check out the full video below as well as one that features Florence Welch talking about the song and the Japanese “Uncovered” trailer that features a bit of extra footage from Final Fantasy XV at the start.

Earlier today it was leaked that a brand new demo for Final Fantasy XV would be released soon though at the time we only knew that it dealt with Carbuncle and Noctis in a dream-like world but now that Square Enix has officially announced the demo, which was released at the end of their Uncovered event and is now available for download, we now know more.

Final Fantasy XV Platinum demo as it is called will follow young Noctis and Carbuncle and since it is a dream like world, he will transform in size or even become an animal and even when fighting he will be left using a toy hammer or fireworks instead of magic. The demo works as a way to introduce a few aspects of the game and it will connect with the Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV anime series. It is worth noting that if you can complete Final Fantasy XV Platinum demo then you will unlock the Carbuncle summon in the full game and this is the only way to actually get this summon in the full game.

During their big Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV event today Square Enix announced that they were going to be dipping back into the CGI movie pool with their signature franchise. After already announcing an anime prologue, the company has announced that they are also planning on releasing a CGI movie called Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV.

The film will feature the same staff that worked on Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children and will be produced in a similar manner to that movie, however this time around the focus is on bringing in new fans who haven’t had past experience with the brand. Square Enix also announced that the movie will feature an all-star cast such as Sean Bean voicing King Regis, Lena Headey handling Princess Luna, and Aaron Paul as the Kingslaive soldier named Nyx.

A sampling of the story as well as some screenshots can be found below:

The magical kingdom of Lucis is home to the hallowed Crystal, but the menacing empire of Niflheim will stop at nothing to make it theirs. War has raged between the two for as long as most can remember.
King Regis of Lucis commands an elite force of soldiers dubbed the Kingsglaive. Wielding their king’s magic, Nyx Ulric and his fellow glaives stand before the crown city of Insomnia, fighting to stay the inexorable advance of Niflheim’s imperial army.
Before the overwhelming military might of the empire, King Regis can only salvage his kingdom by accepting anultimatum—he must cede all lands outside the crown city, and see his son, Prince Noctis, wed to Lady Lunafreya, the former princess of Tenebrae now captive of Niflheim.
As the war of wills rages, the machinations of Niflheim transform Insomnia into an awe-inspiring battleground, pulling Nyx into a struggle for the very survival of the kingdom
