Final Fantasy 15's Noctis Lucis Caelum is regarded by some as the best Final Fantasy protagonist ever, as players just can't get enough of the adventurous royal. Noctis fans will be pleased to know then, that they will soon have even more opportunity to spend time as the character.

Bandai Namco has now announced that Noctis will soon become a playable character in its successful fighting game, Tekken 7. The new character will be available in the game in spring 2018, the company confirms, as he'll arrive on the scene wielding his Engine Blade and ready to beat down his opponents.

A Noctis reveal trailer shows the next Tekken 7 character in action, punching, slashing and kicking his way to K.O-ing his opponents. The video also confirms that the upcoming DLC will introduce a Final Fantasy 15 stage, complete with the NPCs from Square Enix's adventure.

Noctis can battle it out in front of the Hammerhead garage, as Ignis, Prompto, and Gladiolus can be seen cheering, whooping and encouraging their pal to fight on. Cindy and the chocobos also make an appearance, which is a nice touch.

Unfortunately, Bandai Namco says that Noctis will not be available in the Tekken 7 story campaign, despite what the trailer suggests. The company says that the cutscenes in the trailer are just "promotional" meaning that players won't actually get to see Lars and Noctis go on a fishing trip.

Despite a lack of additional story content, many Final Fantasy 15 fans are excited about Noctis' arrival in Tekken 7 as it is just the latest crossover between Final Fantasy 15 and other games. For example, there is also FF15 content in Assassin's Creed Origins, just giving them more ways to enjoy and appreciate Square Enix's RPG no matter what they're playing.

Tekken 7 fans are also looking forward to the new DLC. Though many are hoping that many other characters from other games will be added to Tekken 7, too. Fatal Fury's Geese Howard was added earlier this year, but there are plenty of other opportunities when it comes to post-launch characters. For example, one popular suggestion is for Yakuza's Kazuma Kiryu to be made playable.

At this point, it's unclear what other crossover characters and stages Bandai Namco is working on and all of its focus may be on getting this Final Fantasy 15 DLC right. The company will have surely heard the calls for more crossovers though, so fingers crossed it will deliver.

Tekken 7 is out now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
