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 King, Wanderer 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.

Epic MegaJam 2026

Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.

Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”

It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.

Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.

Phantom Blade Zero makes me think Sony might have a point about going all digital
Physical games still matter, but when the disc isn't a complete copy of the game, the argument for keeping it becomes harder to make.

I'm a big supporter of physical games. There's something satisfying about owning a disc, lending it to a friend, or grabbing a bargain without waiting for a digital storefront to approve the price. But Phantom Blade Zero has me questioning one of the biggest arguments in the physical-versus-digital debate. The game's digital version launches on October 29, 2026, while its physical PS5 editions, including Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate versions, won't arrive until 2027.

And there's another wrinkle: the digital version reportedly needs up to 134GB of storage, raising questions about how much of the game can actually fit on a standard Blu-ray disc. A standard PS5 Ultra HD Blu-ray disc maxes out at 100GB, so Phantom Blade Zero may need to ship across multiple discs or require players to download additional data to finish installing it. Either way, the idea of popping in a disc and having the complete game ready to play gets a little murkier.
