During the Sony E3 conference today, Square Enix once again revealed Final Fantasy Versus XIII , which has been re-branded as Final Fantasy XV. Square Enix says "while the main concept, world and story continue to be developed as originally envisioned, the First Production Development Team has further improved Final Fantasy XV’s action, gameplay elements and graphic quality to match the technology of the next generation hardware, as well as the expectations of players eagerly awaiting the game’s release." Little is known about the story other than the following short blurb: "The armed forces of Niflheim launch a devastating assault upon the Kingdom of Lucis, casting Crown Prince Noctis and his comrades out of their homes and into the fray. The engaging tale to follow draws audiences into an awe-inspiring world steeped in the rich storytelling traditions of Square Enix’s renowned First Production Development team."

Final Fantasy Versus XIII was first announced in 2006, but Square Enix has been mostly silent about the title recently, aside from confirming that it wasn't canceled . Today, Square Enix said "the title’s development expanded and evolved to take full advantage of the capabilities of next generation platforms." Today's announcement confirms news from February that the title is shifting to next-gen and follows up on Square Enix's promise at the PlayStation 4 reveal conference that a new title would be unveiled at E3.
