Sony Pictures Entertainment and Square Enix have revealed the first 12-minutes of their CG movie Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV, which features several massive battle sequences and a score of deadly beasts. Check out the Kingsglaive footage along with the final trailer below! The title will be released to select theaters nationwide on August 19 and digitally worldwide on August 30.
The animated feature weaves together the complexities of kingdoms at war, royal relationships and epic battles in a tale that will set the stage for the main Final Fantasy XV narrative. The CG movie features an all-star cast with Sean Bean (The Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones) voicing Regis, the King of Lucis who has sworn to protect his kingdom, Lena Headey (300, Game of Thrones) voicing Luna, the princess who has been entrusted to deliver the royal ring of Lucis to Prince Noctis, and Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad) voicing Nyx.
The magical kingdom of Lucis is home to the sacred Crystal, and the menacing empire of Niflheim is determined to steal it. King Regis of Lucis (Bean) commands an elite force of soldiers called the Kingsglaive. Wielding their king’s magic, Nyx (Paul) and his fellow soldiers fight to protect Lucis. As the overwhelming military might of the empire bears down, King Regis is faced with an impossible ultimatum – to marry his son, Prince Noctis to Princess Lunafreya of Tenebrae (Headey), captive of Niflheim, and surrender his lands to the empire’s rule. Although the king concedes, it becomes clear that the empire will stop at nothing to achieve their devious goals, with only the Kingsglaive standing between them and world domination.
The Final Fantasy XV game will release worldwide on September 30, and you can pre-order your copy for PlayStation by clicking here.
Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV will mark the third theatrical CG animated feature set in the Final Fantasy universe after 2001’s Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and 2005’s Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.
