A month prior to the release of "Final Fantasy XV," Square Enix has announced an online multiplayer co-op mode for the highly anticipated game.

This new mode is called "Comrades," which gives players the chance to band together with three other friends to take on enemies as they play the roles of Noctis and company.

This "Final Fantasy XV" multiplayer mode will be released as a downloadable content (DLC), but the price of the said expansion is yet to be announced. However, it is included in the game's season pass, which is priced $24.99.

It is unclear what Comrades will actually be about in terms of the story and setting. However, "Final Fantasy 15" expansion director Haruyoshi Sawatari implied to IGN that it takes place outside the main game.

"The stories we're telling through the DLC are going to be linked closely to the main game's story, but they're things that we feel we could only really do within DLC It couldn't have been part of the main game at all," Sawatari said.

He added that the type of gameplay and stories featured in DLC are ones that were impossible to include in the main game.

The Comrades multiplayer DLC will be out after the first set of planned expansions for "Final Fantasy XV" are released. This includes the item pack, a "Holiday Pack," and three Episode DLCs, which will feature each of the pals of Noctis.

"Final Fantasy" expansion director Haruyoshi Sawatari explained to IGN their plans with regard to the DLCs and the release schedule for each.

"When we've released each of those three [character] episodes, and made each of the three characters playable, we're going to bring back [lead character] Noctis from the main game, and then add the multiplayer expansion pack which allows you to play as all of them together in new types of online adventures," he explained.
