At this point we'd love to know how much money Square Enix has pumped into Final Fantasy XV and all of its expanded universe stuff, but it looks like the Japanese publisher's not done yet. Alongside the game's release on the 30th September, you'll be able to get your hands on A King's Tale: Final Fantasy XV, a PlayStation 4 title which appears to be a sidescrolling, retro-styled brawler. Didn't see that one coming.

The beat-'em-up follows the tales of King Regis, Noctis' dad, as he hacks monsters to bits with swords and spells. There's a catch, however, in that the game will only be available to those who pre-order Final Fantasy XV in North America and Canada from GameStop or EBgames. We're still waiting on European details.
