'Final Fantasy XV' release date, gameplay: Shiva summon confirmed; custom Engine Blade Xbox One up for grabs

New details about the gameplay of the highly-anticipated "Final Fantasy XV" have been revealed in the latest issue of Weekly Jump magazine. The upcoming action role-playing video game will feature the Shiva summon, which the publication provided the first look of.

Shiva is often called water goddess or empress of ice. She can be summoned in "Final Fantasy XV," allowing players to take advantage of the blue-skinned monster's signature attack — Diamond Dust.

This attack causes everything to freeze as it envelops the area with frosty air. Players will know that they are in the middle of the Diamond Dust when mirages of Shiva appear and flutter.

Weekly Jump did not elaborate on how the ice queen will be integrated into "Final Fantasy XV" as far as the storyline goes. Either way, fans can expect Shiva to be part of the game.

The publication, however, revealed a bit more about the inclusion of Lunafreya, the fiancée of "Final Fantasy XV's" protagonist, Noctis.

In the game, players will see Noctis leave the crown city for Altissia for the wedding only to realize that after they left, the city, the location of the kingdom's seat of power and believed to be the home of the crystal, was attacked by the empire.

The magazine suggests that Noctis will still manage to reunite with Lunafreya, although it was suggested in some spoilers that his home, Niflheim, was isolated following the attack.

In other related news, fans who pre-ordered "Final Fantasy XV" from the official website of developer Square Enix are getting the extraordinary chance to win a custom Xbox One console which was designed with Noctis' Engine Blade weapon in mind.

"Final Fantasy XV" will be released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Nov. 29. The game will also be available to the all-new PS4 Pro, which launches on Nov. 10.
