Final Fantasy XV: “Episode Gladiolus” brings back a classic villain

VG24/7 is reporting on a special edition mailout, sent to select YouTubers, with details of Final Fantasy XV‘s first piece of DLC.

“Episode Gladiolus”, which will revolve around one of the game’s four main protagonist, will also reintroduce a classic villain: Gilgamesh.

YouTubers themselves have also corroborated the reports.

“The player confronts an enemy called Gilgamesh, who can only be seen in Episode Gladio,” Producer Haruyoshi Sawatari wrote in the mailout. Gilgamesh first appeared in Final Fantasy V.

Sawatari also confirmed that, “in Episode Gladio, you’re able to go into areas that cannot be entered in the main game.”

We’ll report back as more is known.
