Final Fantasy XV Spin-off A King's Tale Releasing For Free This March
Final Fantasy XV's pre-order bonus game is getting its own release on March 1 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and it won't cost players a dime.
A beat em' up in the vein of Streets of Rage or Altered Beast, A King's Tale casts players as a young King Regis fighting to save the crown city with the aid of his friends. Players can also utilize air combos, magic, and summons on their journey, which takes place 30 years before the events of FF XV. DualShockers is reporting confirmation from Square Enix that PS4 and Xbox One owners will be able to download the game for free, regardless of whether they purchased Final Fantasy XV or not.

Our Take
By all accounts, King's Tale is a solid little side adventure in the Final Fantasy XV universe. Giving players a free excuse to spend more time in the world of Final Fantasy XV is never a bad thing.
