Kingslaive PS4 PlayStation 4 1 Final Fantasy XV

As the anti-weeb on the Push Square team, you may well be expecting this article to be laced with snark – but no, Kingslaive: Final Fantasy XV actually looks alright. The spin-off movie based upon the long-overdue role-playing game will hit select US theatres on 19th August, and then will be followed by a digital release on the PlayStation Store from 30th August – a month prior to the new game.

And it does genuinely look decent, doesn't it? Given that this is not a major Hollywood production, the CG work is still some of the finest that we've ever seen – the art direction and overall visual fidelity is absolutely insane. And the acting – with household names like Lena Headey, Aaron Paul, and Sean Bean involved – is surprisingly good, too.

The film can be enjoyed as a standalone experience, though if you're planning to pick up Final Fantasy XV at some point, you'll obviously get much more out of it. If you don't want to see it in cinemas or fancy downloading the digital version, then a Blu-ray and DVD release will drop on 4th October as well.
