Square Enix has announced that the upcoming DLC for Final Fantasy XVI, titled “The Rising Tide,” will be available for PlayStation 5 starting April 18.
New DLC
The news was revealed at the end of a game panel held at the PAX East fair, where the premise of the DLC’s story was introduced: “An unmarked letter arrives at the hideout with a very curious request: the Dominant of Leviathan, Eikon of Water lost long ago, needs to be rescued,” reads the description accompanying the new trailer, which can be seen above.
Unlike the previous DLC, which already included battles, weapons, accessories, new levels, and more, The Rising Tide is a larger expansion in which Clive and his companions travel to Mysidia, a land hidden under a blue sky, where they will discover the tragic story of a forgotten village.
It is worth remembering that the game by Square Enix was fully planned, so its base game already offers a content-filled experience. However, the success of the title and the desire of many players for new content led Creative Business Unit III’s team to prepare these DLCs, which are expected to be the only ones the game will receive, which could be bidding farewell now, although some think it should offer more.
Real-Time Action Final Fantasy
As you can see in the demo of Final Fantasy XVI, the story of Clive Rosfield, a warrior granted the title of “First Shield of Rosaria” after swearing to protect his younger brother Joshua, the Dominant of the Phoenix, presents the first real-time action adventure in the saga. Its world features six kingdoms through vast areas in a story presented through main missions and complemented by side quests. Recently, it was clarified how much is left until the game’s release on PC.
This new content will be priced at least $15, although it will be part of the game’s expansion pass, available on the PlayStation Store for $24.99, including Echoes of the Fallen, the expansion released last December.
