Square Enix had previously teased that Final Fantasy XV would continue to expand with new DLC episodes this year. We've now learned what the company has in mind for those additions, but they're unfortunately not coming as soon as expected. A total of four more episodes are on the way, though these won't arrive until sometime in 2019.
The news was shared during a panel at PAX East. Like past episodes, each one will center around a specific character: Ardyn, Aranea, Luna, and Noctis. The last one is the most notable of the bunch, as it will explore the story of his "final battle." Here's how the slides (via ResetEra) presented during the panel describe each of the four:

Episode I: Ardyn -- The Conflict of the Sage
  • This story portrays the struggles of Ardyn. Witness the resentment he harbored towards Lucis for over 2000 years, and his clashes with the Astrals.
Episode Side Story: Aranea -- The Beginning of the End
  • A side story about the Starscourge depicted from the Niflheim's perspective. The final day of the Empire turns out to be Aranea's worst day.
Episode II: Lunafreya -- The Choice of Freedom
  • This story's about Luna's fate, which not even death can free her from. Her battle to save the one she loves overturns the destiny dealt to the Lucian King.
Episode III: Noctis -- The Final Strike
  • Parting ways with the Astrals, Noctis embarks upon his final battle in order to attain the ideal future for all his people.
Additional details on all of these are still to come, including specific release timing. We also don't know how much these will cost or if Square Enix intends to offer an additional season pass for this new slate of content. When director Hajime Tabata confirmed more DLC last year, he would only say that the first episode would feature Ardyn.
Alongside the new DLC details, Square Enix announced some kind of crossover collaboration with the upcoming Shadow of the Tomb Raider, although we have no details on that at this point. Final Fantasy XV has seen plenty of crossovers already, including a surprisingly impressive one with Assassin's Creed.

Fortnite: Battle Royale Review - Laying The Foundation

Fortnite: Battle Royale Review - Laying The Foundation For a game that was long in development as a cooperative horde-based shooter, the conspicuous and relatively quick addition of battle royale to Fortnite seemed to be a move to capitalize on a trend. However, its seemingly simple building system and loose shooting mechanics not only set it apart from other games built on the same premise, but work extremely well to make a uniquely chaotic and surprisingly deep deathmatch experience. Everything about Fortnite's presentation emits a lighthearted tone. You start a match by jumping out of a party bus held up by balloons that flies across the game's massive map. Weapons, ammo, and health items litter its silly-named cities, all using alliteration--Tomato Town, Moisty Mire, Tilted Towers, to name a few. Even enemies don't really die; they're teleported away after getting knocked out. Valuable loot is found inside pinatas called supply llamas, for crying out loud. P...

Battlefield 1 !! (with download link)

More Battlefield 2018 Details Emerge Are you ready for more Battlefield? After a leak last week claimed the new Battlefield will be set in World War II, a new report has now seemingly brought more details to light on the upcoming shooter. GamesBeat originally leaked Battlefield V--as the game is rumored to be titled--and it has now followed up with more information about the game's campaign and mechanics. Firstly, the site claims Battlefield V's single-player mode will include a number of different stories packed into one overarching campaign. Battlefield 1 had a similar system of having you control a number of different protagonists to gain different perspectives on the war, and this is something DICE apparently wants to do again with the second World War. It's also important to note that GamesBeat says the title "Battlefield V" may simply be a placeholder, and that it was also used for Battlefield 1 when that game was in development. The site goes o...
