Today, Square Enix announced that Final Fantasy XV has gone gold. To mark this production milestone, a new CG cinematic trailer, entitled “Omen,” released today.
Omen is a conceptual CG cinematic trailer created by the 3D animation studio Digic Pictures, who also worked on Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV. Noctis navigates a rapidly shifting world, endless waves of enemies, a gradual loss of abilities, and a madness that brings harm to his beloved fiancée. Inspired by the world and story of Final Fantasy XV, the trailer depicts a nightmarish “omen” for Noctis’ father King Regis — a catastrophic future that must be avoided.
With Final Fnatasy XV achieving gold status, development will now shift towards creation of the Season Pass ($24.99) DLC.
The main focus of the Season Pass is three original episodes that take place during the events of Final Fantasy XV. Each episode allows players to take control of one of Noctis’ comrades in all-new adventures that offer unique play styles tailored to each character. Players can explore previously unseen areas filled with new monsters, and even obtain weapons that can later be used in the main game. Episode Gladiolus is the first new character adventure to arrive, and will be followed by Episode Ignis and Episode Prompto. Each episode will be available for purchase individually.
Following the release of the character episodes, Comrades — an expansion pack for Final Fantasy XV — will introduce a brand-new online co-op mode for up to four players which features battles allowing players to take full control of Noctis, Gladio, Prompto and Ignis as a group. Comrades will be available for separate purchase, and is also included in the Season Pass.

Being the center of school gossip is a quick way to make anyone feel like an outcast, and Persona 5’s Ann Takamaki gets the full brunt of that. Ann is a beautiful girl plagued by unjust rumors from her peers on a daily basis. But despite the Scarlett Letter treatment, Ann cares deeply about her friends…which is why she’s so eager to pick up the mask and join the Phantom Thieves. Well, that and also to spite the rumors about her and the “excessively friendly” gym teacher at Shujin Academy. And while the Phantom Thieves won’t be done with just one lecherous gym teacher, Ann winds up being the closest thing to the group’s moral compass. Plus, she’s just a total badass that you’d want watching your back in a fight.
Watch Ann let her rebellious side loose in the new trailer. Persona 5 will be available on February 14th for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3.

Today, a new hero arrives for Battleborn players – the 29th playable hero, Kid Ultra. Season Pass holders and Digital Deluxe owners can instantly unlock Kid Ultra early starting today, and he will be available for everyone on November 3rd for 47,500 in-game credits.
Originally designed for childcare missions, weaponless yet equipped with thousands of cartoons and comics hardwired in his databanks to entertain children, Kid Ultra came online just as Magna Carta, the LLC’s governing AI suddenly went dark, providing the newly fabricated robot without executable code. The only source of actionable information in his brain was the library of entertainment intended for placating and educating youngsters. When the Battleborn found Kid Ultra ineffectually acting out his programming of a comic book “good guy” without armament, Nova and Kleese outfitted him with both an arsenal and a team at his back. Kid Ultra was finally the hero he wanted to be. He was a Battleborn.
Kid Ultra is now the apex of LLC support technology, dominating the battlefield by buffing and healing teammates while pacifying enemies with abilities including:
