To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the media and video game franchise "Final Fantasy," Square Enix is launching a pop-up exclusive event in London in the first week of November.

The pop-up experience aims to highlight the accomplishments of the franchise throughout the years and give fans the chance to purchase souvenirs inspired by the game. The event will start on Nov. 3 and will last until Nov. 5 at the 21 Slingby Place, Covent Garden. It will be a big day for "Final Fantasy" fans as they will get a chance to play some of the most iconic versions of "Final Fantasy" and also indulge in some artworks and limited-edition merchandise.

The year 2017 is not that big for Square Enix, but 2018 will surely be a massive one. The remake of the action role-playing game "Final Fantasy 7" is rumored to be released in 2018 as well. The gaming company will welcome 2018 with the release of their newest role-playing game "Dissidia Final Fantasy NT." According to an Oct. 17 post on the Square Enix blog, the game will hit the market in February next year. "The wait to get your hands on Dissidia is only about 4 months away," it reads.

The attendees to the pop-up event will also get the chance to play an enhanced demo of the latest installment in the Dissidia gaming franchise. Players will engage on three vs. three (3v3) battles with their favorite "Final Fantasy" characters.

It has also been confirmed that "Dissidia Final Fantasy NT's'" producer Ichiro Hazama and "Final Fantasy XIV'" producer and director Naoki Yoshida will grace the event and talk to the fans. According to the official website of the pop-up event, Hazama himself will participate in the 3v3 gameplay demo during the opening day.

Square Enix fans are also hoping for any new updates about action role-playing game "Kingdom Hearts 3" that also features selected "Final Fantasy" characters.
