Final Fantasy XIV is getting its own live-action TV series

Production company Hivemind and Sony Pictures Television on Thursday announced the upcoming development of a live-action series based on the game Final Fantasy XIV.

“Inspired directly by the world and characters of the title’s fourteenth installment, the project will embrace the bold and genre-bending sensibilities of the revered and long-running Final Fantasy series as it explores the struggle between magic and technology in a quest to bring peace to a land in conflict,” explained a press release on Thursday.

The show will be written by Jake Thornton and Ben Lustig, and produced by Dinesh Shamdasani, Jason F. Brown and Sean Daniel.

“Filled with iconic hallmarks of the title’s revered mythology — magitek and beastmen, airships and chocobos — the forthcoming series will feature a mixture of new and familiar faces,” Hivemind also said.

A release date for the series has not yet been revealed.
