News: An expansion featuring a new story and a familiar character are now available in the latest Final Fantasy game.

Square Enix has just revealed that the first expansion for Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is now available. The expansion is titled “Trials of the Dragon King” and was developed in collaboration with Team Ninja from Koei Tecmo. If that name sounds familiar it should as that team has been responsible for the Ninja Gaiden and Nioh series, among others. Trials of the Dragon King tells an original story that will take place after the events of the main game, when Jack and his friends visit an island in the Cardian Archipelago to investigate the sudden appearance of Bahamut and to determine whether is is a friend or enemy.

New content in The Trials of the Dragon King expansion includes:

New Missions – After clearing the main storyline, players can dive into new missions and experience an original story featuring the Dragon King Bahamut.

New Jobs and Weapon Type – A new weapon type, the staff, and three new jobs have been added with DLC: Pilgrim, Evoker and Summoner.

Accessories – Players can now equip accessories, which grant various special effects and status improvements.

BAHAMUT Difficulty Mode – After clearing the main storyline, players can access a new difficulty level called Bahamut.

Players eager to continue their adventures alongside Jack, Ash and Jed can look forward to the release of two additional chapters in the future entitled “Wanderer of the Rift” and “Different Future.” Players can access each of the expansions through the game’s Season Pass, which is included in the Digital Deluxe Edition. The Season Pass can be purchased individually for $24.99 and is also included in the Digital Deluxe Upgrade for $30.00.
