Final Fantasy XV is adding character switching soon

Ditch Noctis in December

Recommended Videos

Square Enix plans to support Final Fantasy XV well into the new year, but before that, we’re getting a nice update in December that’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser. As announced today on-stream, we’ll soon have the ability to swap between our best bros Gladiolus, Prompto, and Ignis during battles.

Here’s a shot of the mechanic:

There will be some inherent restrictions on when and where you can switch to a different playable character (the full four-man party isn’t present for every sequence in the game), but as far as open-world adventuring is concerned, you’ll be totally free to give Noctis a break for a change.

The update will arrive around the release of Episode Ignis, and that’s launching December 13.
