Square Enix developed and published Final Fantasy XV, an action role-playing game. The fifteenth main instalment of the Final Fantasy series, it was released in 2016 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, in 2018 for Microsoft Windows, and in 2019 for Stadia. The game has an open world environment and an action-based battle system, as well as quick-switching weapons, elemental magic, and other features like vehicle travel and camping. The base campaign was later supplemented with downloadable content (DLC), which added new gameplay options such as playable characters and multiplayer.

Final Fantasy XV takes place on the fictitious world of Eos; except from Insomnia, the capital of Lucis, the world is governed by the empire of Niflheim, which seeks control of the mystical Crystal guarded by the Lucian royal line. On the eve of peace talks, Niflheim strikes the capital and steals the Crystal. Noctis Lucis Caelum, heir to the Lucian throne, embarks on a mission to save the Crystal and defeat Niflheim. He subsequently discovers his true identity as the "True King," destined to use the Crystal's powers to save Eos from perpetual darkness. Thematically, the game is related to Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy, a subseries of games linked by a shared mythos that includes Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Type-0.
