'Final Fantasy XV' New Episode Prompto DLC To Be Released Next Week

Square Enix may have released "Final Fantasy XV" last year but it has kept fans on the loop with the release of successive new video game content. The latest update to the story is Episode Prompto. Square Enix has announced that it will be available for download starting next week.

Square Enix reveals its latest addition to the its exclusive Season Pass content. Episode Prompto arrives on June 27 and will only be available to those who have purchased the Season Pass. The said episode is the second solo character adventure released for “Final Fantasy XV” since Episode Gladius was released in March 2017.

“Final Fantasy XV” Episode Prompto features the gunslinger’s detour from his journey with his friends to save the world. As a playable character, he navigates through a land covered with snow to visit the whole story of his origins. Prompto’s real identity was revealed in the main story of the video game but this new episode serves as the entire backstory that fans can relive.

“Final Fantasy XV” Episode Prompto noticeably takes place during the time when Prompto went missing after he fell off the train. While the main story focused on Noctis, Ignis, and Gladios at that time, the new downloadable content will finally reveal what happened to Prompto before Noctis found and rescued him. Another thing peculiar and interesting about Episode Prompto is the sudden change in subgenre as it takes on a third-person shooter in some parts of the new episode.

Aside from the refreshing change of pace, players will have fun with bazookas and snowmobiles. Special character Aranea Highwind will also be featured in the new episode. Fans are highly anticipating this new content especially when most of them have nailed the theories that the solo episode featuring Prompto will focus on the time he went missing.
