The return of a familiar face

"Episode Gladiolus" gives players a chance to play as the fan-favorite bodyguard Gladiolus. Another familiar "Final Fantasy" character will be making his debut on "Episode Gladiolus."

This character is none other than the iconic Gilgamesh, who's strangely absent in the main "Final Fantasy 15" game. Gilgamesh has always been a series-staple in "Final Fantasy" games and has frequently appeared since the first game.

For the next DLC "Episode Prompto", it has been reported that it's scheduled for a June release date. While the last DLC "Episode Ignis" has no release date yet at this moment, according to USGamer.
