Square Enix revealed this morning that DISSIDIA Final Fantasy NT will be making its way to PS4 some time early in 2018. If you're not already a huge fan of the series, you're about to be. Check out the stunning announcement trailer above.

The DISSIDIA series is one that has seen mass success in Japan, while attracting its own cult following in the West with the release of two games on Sony's original handheld, the PSP. The latest installment has been a smash hit in Japanese arcades for some time, and NT marks the series' HD debut in the United States.

These games are popular because they basically let you live out your wildest Final Fantasy daydreams. It's an epic answer to games like Super Smash Bros., enabling players to form teams of three with their favorite Final Fantasy characters from the franchise's 30+ year history, and pit them against each other in epic clashes with full 3D movement, giant weapons, magic, and summons.

"Offering strategic online and offline play, players can select from over 20 legendary characters and familiar summons, including Ifrit, Shiva and Odin, to bring into 3 vs. 3 battle. The game also brings back the DISSIDIA series' unique 'bravery combat system,' alongside unparalleled visuals and seamless gameplay."

Before the official announcement was made this morning, the game leaked via an Amazon listing that gives us a few more details through the product description:

• Final Fantasy, everything you could ever want - Over 20 playable Final Fantasy heroes and villains to play, over ten iconic battle arenas, legendary summons, tons of equippable weapons and moogles

• Legendary narrative - Dive into an all-new Final Fantasy story, written by writer Kazushige Nojima (Fantasy VII Remake, Final Fantasy XV, Final Fantasy X, Kingdom Hearts, and Kingdom Hearts II)

• Your fantasy. Your fight - Each battle you wage, you will gain XP and gil to deepen the customization of your Final Fantasy champion - from EX skills to weapons to skins, level up

• Only the brave survive - The bravery combat system allows a much deeper and more methodical approach to the fighting game genre, separating luck from skill
