The latest details for "Final Fantasy XV" will feature planned updates for Chapter 13, as well as new information on Episodes Gladiolus and Prompto next month.

Square Enix announced their plans for the controverial Chapter 13 in "Final Fantasy XV" as the publisher will release a new patch for the chapter on March 28, Gamerant reported. Game director Hajime Tabata explained before that Chapter 13 in "FFXV" was intended to offer a jarring contrast to the rest of the game.

However, Tabata also admitted that his ideas for Chapter 13 were not executed perfectly, confirming that plans were in motion to tweak this particular section in a future update. Chapter 13 became a departure from the bulk of the whole game, and many gamers would argue that it detracts from its overall experience.

The chapter sees "FFXV" protagonist Noctis separated from his party, trapped in a maze, and stripped of many of his most useful abilities. Rather than the role-playing road trip the gamer were previously enjoying, players are forced to stealthily evade robots in a labyrinth of darkened corridors.

Tabata added that stress gamers have received in going through the chapter was greater than he anticipated and they hope that the development team will fix it on March.

In other news, Square Enix will also release new details for the DLCs in "Final Fantasy XV" particularly episodes Gladiolus and Prompto.

Episode Gladiolus will launch on March 28 and the titular character will be joined by Cor Leonis in the side quest. It is rumored that Gladiolus will be facing Gilgamesh during his DLC episode.
