Square Enix has confirmed that Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV will receive its premiere in London’s West End on August 23.
The CGI film, based on the upcoming Final Fantasy XV for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on August 30. The movie features voice talent from the likes of Aaron Paul, Lena Headey, and Sean Bean.
Directed by Takeshi Nozue, Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV sees the city of Insomniac under attack from the Niflheim army, who are attempting to pinch a sacred object from ruler King Regis. However, Regis isn’t about lie down and let that happen, and dispatches his elite guards, the Kingsglaive, to protect the city.
The film itself is a pretty meaty affair, clocking in at over 110 minutes. It’s not yet know exactly which venue the movie will be getting its London premiere, although we’ll be sure to update you should we find out more info.
Final Fantasy XV is due out on September 30, some ten years after it was originally unveiled as the PlayStation 3-exclusive Final Fantasy Versus XIII at E3 2006.
Square Enix later admitted that the game was revealed too early, and following long periods of silence on the project, confirmed at E3 2013 that the game had been revamped for current-generation system as Final Fantasy XV.
The publishing giant later said that development on FFXV kicked off back in 2012, back when Versus XIII was only around 25 percent complete.
Final Fantasy XV is receiving a sumptuous Ultimate Collector’s Edition, although if you haven’t already pre-ordered it you’re out of luck–it’s already sold out twice.
