Square Enix has announced that A King’s Tale: Final Fantasy XV will become free to all PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners.

The side-scrolling, throwback action game was previously a pre-order exclusive bonus to users who pre-ordered Final Fantasy XV at GameStop. The game will be made free to everyone on March 1st in Europe.

A North American release hasn’t been announced – this is because Square Enix is officially observing President’s Day as a national holiday, and will most likely announce it tomorrow.

Here’s a rundown on the game, via Square Enix:

A King’s Tale: Final Fantasy XV is an action game with retro-styled graphics and fast-paced combat. Taking place a fictitious 30 years before Final Fantasy XV, the action centers around King Regis and his faithful companions (Weskham, Cid and Clarus) defending the royal capital from raiding monsters.

Key Features

• Deep Combat System – Combos, counters, and Regis’ signature “Warp Strike” combine for lightning fast real-time combat that rewards fast reflexes and smart tactics.
• Companions – Three distinct companions offer unique and new ways to attack as well as tailored super moves that deal massive damage.
• Magic – Ignite the battlefield, freeze your enemies, or electrify your foes with Fire, Ice, and Lightning magic.
• Summons – Call upon epic Astral entities to decimate your foes in jaw-dropping ways.

In related news, Final Fantasy XV recently teased a PC version of the game director Hajime Tabata, emphasizing that both he and the team want to showcase the game running on high end PCs, and even allow for modding.
