Final Fantasy Origin will get three post-launch expansions

Add as a preferred source on Google

After killing Chaos, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin players will have a lot more to do, as long as they shell out some extra cash. A new trailer for one of the game’s premium editions revealed that it will have three major post-launch expansions for players, all of which are bundled into a season pass.

STRANGER OF PARADISE FINAL FANTASY ORIGIN | DIGITAL DELUXE EDITION

The three post-launch expansions coming for Final Fantasy Origin are Trials of the Dragon KingWanderer of the Rift, and Different Future. While no details were offered for the three expansions, the third’s name is a pretty blatant hint. It seems like Different Future could take yet another look at how Final Fantasy Origin‘s protagonist, Jack Garland, eventually becomes the antagonist of Final Fantasy, Chaos.

Players can already purchase all three expansions by pre-ordering Final Fantasy Origin‘s Digital Deluxe Edition. Along with a season pass, which includes the DLCs, players will get a digital mini soundtrack, digital art book, three in-game items — the “Braveheart” weapon, “Lustrous” shield, and “Rebellion” weapon — and early access to the game. While the deluxe edition of Final Fantasy Origin will run $90, it’s not clear how much the game’s season pass will cost separately.

In terms of what the game will actually be like to play, a previous trailer for Final Fantasy Origin has touched on the game’s combat options. Along with the franchise’s Command Abilities, new powers will be available for players to use as Garland, along with a number of classes that can be swapped out mid-combat.

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin releases March 18, 2022, for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via the Epic Games Store.

Sony’s wild PSN login patent could turn the DualSense into a security gatekeeper
A newly published filing outlines controller-based sign-ins for PlayStation users, aiming to make stolen accounts harder to exploit.

Sony has filed a PSN login patent, first spotted by RespawnFirst, that would pull the DualSense controller into the sign-in process. A PlayStation console would start the request, then the controller would help confirm that the account holder is close enough to approve access.

For players, the appeal is easy to see. PSN account abuse can lead to unauthorized purchases, lost access, and attempts to resell established accounts. Sony already offers 2-step verification and passkeys, but this idea adds a hardware check to the login chain.

This study found a surprising mental health perk hiding in your game library
Researchers surveyed 2,252 adults and found that specific game genres, not gaming in general, line up with lower loneliness and stronger emotional resilience.

A new study has found that adults who play certain video games report feeling less lonely and more emotionally resilient than people who don't play games at all. The findings challenge the idea that gaming is just a way to escape from real life and instead tie specific kinds of games to real, measurable shifts in how people cope with stress and isolation.

GTA 6 may be far away, so Rockstar gave GTA 5 a fresh coat of paint
Grand Theft Auto 5

With Grand Theft Auto 6 now just months away, Rockstar Games is giving longtime Grand Theft Auto 5 players a reason to revisit Los Santos. The company has announced that owners of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of GTA 5 will receive a free upgrade to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game.

The move comes as Rockstar ramps up excitement for GTA 6, which is currently scheduled to launch on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles. Previously, upgrading from the older console versions to the current-generation release required a separate purchase, typically costing around $10. Beginning Thursday, however, eligible players will be able to move to the newer version at no additional cost.
