I’ve got bad news for Final Fantasy fans looking forward to the upcoming Comrades expansion. The original planned release date of October 31, has now been pushed back to “early November.”
Square Enix isn’t providing an exact new launch date, but has said that the delay is due “to final adjustments and to create the best possible experience.”

The delay should hopefully only last a week or two. Once it’s over, players will be able to group up and tackle the world’s challenges as a team. Here’s what to expect from Comrades:
For the first time, Final Fantasy XV players will be able to create their own character and join up with three other friends to take on epic quests and battles in the game’s first and only online multiplayer expansion titled “Comrades.” Starting October 31, players will set foot as a survivor from Kingsglaive to find out more about the disappearance of Noctis after the events in Chapter 13 from the main game.
“As members of Kingsglaive, players equip royal sigils that grant special powers from the Lucian bloodline. Players can then strategize and create a balanced team to take on a variety of quests. In addition to multiplayer quests, single player quests are also available for players to enhance their characters.”
