Final Fantasy XV Receives Holiday Pack on December 22

Are you indulging in some holiday cheer this year? There are plenty of ways to celebrate the holiday season: baking cookies, going caroling, or building snowmen. But gamers tend to also spend the holidays taking part in festive quests in MMOs, delving into game gifts, or taking part in festive single-player quests.

Well, Final Fantasy XV is planning to spread the holiday cheer with the release of a free game update, known as the Holiday Pack, and a premium-priced Holiday Pack+.

The free update will include the highly anticipated New Game+ feature, which allows players to start a new game with previous data intact. Additionally, you'll be able to use a fresh photo frame feature that allows you to choose from a variety of themed photo frames that can be applied to Prompto's photos.

The free version will also include useful accessories as well as a Carnival Passport for the Moogle Chocobo Carnival, which will take place late January. Expect such accessories like:

Warrior's Fanfare A scroll of sheet music containing a song of jubilation that provides additional AP for earning an A+ in Offense outside of training.
Nixperience Band A device that stops experience points from being tallied, preventing the party from leveling up for an added challenge.
Carnival Passport An adorably adorned ticket that whisks the bearer away to a fun-filled carnival for a limited time.
Choco-Mog Tee (available late January) An exclusive T-shirt featuring everyones favorite fluffy and feathery friends. Colorful, comfy and appropriate for any carnival-goer.

Now, fans who have the Final Fantasy XV Season Pass or own the Final Fantasy XV Digital Premium Edition will be able to access the premium Holiday+ pack, which will contain the following:

Ring of Resistance A protective piece of jewelry that renders the entire party to be resistant to magical friendly fire.
Tech Turbocharger A device for Noctis that accelerates the tech bar replenishment rate, but freezes the Armiger bar.
Armiger Accelerator A device for Noctis that accelerates the Armiger bar replenishment rate, but freezes the tech bar.
Blitzer's Fanfare A scroll of sheet music containing a song of jubilation that provides additional AP for earning an A+ in Time outside of training.
Tactician's Fanfare A scroll of sheet music containing a song of jubilation that provides additional AP for earning an A+ in Finesse outside of training.
Key of Prosperity A lucky charm that increases the rate at which fallen foes leave behind items of value.
Stamina Badge A device that enables Noctis to sprint and hang without expending stamina.
Carnival Passport An adorably adorned ticket that whisks the bearer away to a fun-filled carnival for a limited time.
Festive Ensemble (available late January) A fancy and fun outfit perfectly suited for enjoying the festivities. The darling design puts all who see it in high spirits.
Holiday Pack + Exclusive Photo Frames (available late January) Additional themes the player can add to Prompto's photos when sharing over social media.

Both packs will be available on December 22nd. Players interested in the premium pack can always download the Season Pass, which is available for $24.99.
