"Dissidia Final Fantasy NT" is due to be released for PlayStation 4 in early 2018. It is the third installment in the popular spinoff series. It has been announced that a new character will be added in the game. Jecht, the Blitzball legend from "Final Fantasy X," will be joining the likes of Cloud, Lightning and Kefka, but Square Enix has made it clear that he will not be available during the closed beta.
