is an entertainment editor covering streaming, virtual worlds, and every single Pokémon video game. Andrew joined The Verge in 2012, writing over 4,000 stories.
The movie was created by Digic Pictures, the same team behind the beautiful but flawed movie Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV. It plays out like one long, stunningly rendered cutscene, stitching together seemingly unrelated events — a car crash, a fiery sword fight, soldiers riding a subway, a handsome wolf with a very serious stare — and connects them into a surprisingly intense five-minute clip.

After nearly a decade in development, Final Fantasy XV will finally be launching on November 29th.
