Video game publisher Square Enix says that it will include a new character called Lumina for the upcoming Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII video game, which has the ability to either help the main cast on their quest or fight them to stop their progress.

The leak comes from a magazine quoted by Nova Crystallis and does not talk about when exactly Lumina will appear or what her abilities will be.

The new game will offer closure to all the story threads of the Fabula Nova Chrystallis universe.

In Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, the main character will be able to take three different costumes into battle and swap them at will, each of them able to get access to more powers as fights evolve.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII will be launched exclusively on the PlayStation 3 during 2013.
