Square Enix has announced that a new version of Final Fantasy XV will be making its way to retailers and digital storefronts on March 6. Dubbed, the Royal Edition (or the Windows Edition if you’re picking the game up on PC) it contains some previously released weapon, Regalia, and item set DLC, everything from the game’s first season pass, an expanded map of the Insomnia City Ruins, the Royal Vessel boat and more!

Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition and the Windows Edition, will contain these new features over the base game:

  • Expanded Map: Insomnia City Ruins – all-new side quests and enemies such as Cerberus and Omega will be available through the expanded map of the Crown City of Insomnia. Players will also take on the Rulers of Yore.
  • A fully-controllable Royal Vessel boat, expanding the world of Eos and allowing players to explore the area between Cape Caem and Altissia. Players will also be able to fish aboard the vessel and discover new fishes and dishes.
  • A new accessory that can activate the new action “Armiger Unleashed” – players will be able to unleash powerful attacks while the Armiger is summoned. After collecting all of the royal arms, players will be able to find an accessory in an unidentified part of the world, enabling access to Armiger Unleashed.
  • A new first-person camera mode, allowing players to experience the game from Noctis’ perspective.
  • More than a dozen pieces of downloadable content including weapons, Regalia car skins and item sets
  • All season pass content including EPISODE GLADIOLUS, EPISODE PROMPTO, MULTIPLAYER EXPANSION: COMRADES** and EPISODE IGNIS
