The multiplayer expansion can be bought as an add-on for the game for $19.99. If you buy the upcoming Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition for PS4 and Xbox One or Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition for PC, then you’ll also receive the multiplayer expansion along with other stuff such as story DLC.

Less than two weeks away from the first year anniversary of Final Fantasy 15, its latest expansion Comrades is available for all. The DLC adds support for online co-op as players take on the role of a Glaive that must battle the Daemons infesting the lands.

The Comrades DLC provides the usual action you’d expect from Final Fantasy 15, from hunts to various side quests. If you don’t have a group of friends to play with, then the Quick Play feature will connect you to a group of erstwhile players. It’s also possible to play alongside computer-controlled partners.

Comrades is available for Xbox One and PS4 for $20. If you own the Season Pass, it will be included with it. Though you can only control custom-created characters, Square Enix is working on incorporating characters like Ignis, Prompto and Gladio in the future.

Speaking of Ignis, he’ll be the star of the next Final Fantasy 15 DLC, titled Episode Ignis. That goes live on December 13th for Xbox One and PS4.

Square Enix’s co-op multiplayer DLC for Final Fantasy 15 won’t be releasing on October 31st. Instead, the Comrades DLC will be out in early November. According to the game’s official Twitter, the delay was made for the sake of “final adjustments”. The developer notes that as soon as a new release date can be confirmed, it will let fans know.

The Comrades DLC is incredibly interesting because it allows players to take on the role of Kingsglaive members following the events of Chapter 13 in-game. With the world being attacked by Daemons, it’s up to the Glaive to protect the people. Players will be able to team and fight together, taking on side quests and missions while customizing their characters in the process.

Though it supports custom characters now, Square Enix plans to add characters like Prompto, Gladiolus and Ignis to the mix in due time. The Comrades DLC can be acquired as part of the game’s Season Pass. If you already own the Pass, you should receive it for free in early November.

Square-Enix’s multiplayer expansion for Final Fantasy 15, titled “Comrades“, has a release date. It will arrive on October 31st for Xbox One and PS4. The expansion will be available to Final Fantasy 15 Season Pass owners though it can also be purchased separately. Playing online requires an Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus subscription.

Set after Chapter 13 in the main game where Noctis goes missing, players assume the role of a Kingsglaive member with a royal sigil that can use powers taken from the Lucian kings. This allows for different builds as players team together, take on various quests and attempt to take back the kingdom from the forces of darkness.

Interestingly, you can take on single player quests to further power up your online characters. Square Enix noted that characters like Prompto, Ignis and Gladiolus will also be playable in the future. Noctis probably won’t be available but that makes sense given the expansion’s setting.

What are your thoughts on Final Fantasy 15’s Comrades expansion? Let us know in the comments.

Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 15 broke new ground when the developer’s next DLC Comrades went into closed beta. The DLC is a co-op experience that allows players to customize their own avatars and play alongside three other players.

Unfortunately, server issues have prevented many players from having an ideal experience. Square Enix has thus announced another “closed online test” for the DLC on August 11th and 13th and this will coincide with an update that will “improve matchmaking.

The Comrades DLC is compelling because players will be exploring the world in the single-player campaign. Along with extensive character customization, there are quests to play together, new weapons, gear, attack styles and so on. While only a slice of this is available in the beta, Square Enix is promising a health amount of content at released. Furthermore, future updates will allow Noctis and his comrades to be playable.

There’s no release date for Comrades but you can partake of the closed beta if you have the $25 Season Pass or PlayStation Plus/Xbox Live Gold for your respective platform.

Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 15 is currently hosting a closed beta for its next big DLC dubbed Comrades. This will add co-op multiplayer to the game but is only available for those who have PlayStation Plus, Xbox Live Gold or the Season Pass (which retails for $25).

Essentially instilling co-op mechanics into the game’s single-player campaign, Comrades allows players to customize their own avatar and embark on various quests with up to three other players. Though only a small amount of content is available in the closed beta, players can expect new weapons, attacks, sigils and quests in the full version.

The closed beta will be available till August 8th and while there isn’t a release date for the full DLC, Square Enix says that additional information is “forthcoming”. Interestingly, there will also be an update in the future to allow players to select Noctis and his party as opposed to their own avatars.
