Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV will debut in theaters across the U.S. Aug. 19. The film will also be available on Blu-ray and digital this fall.

Here’s what the folks over at Square Enix can tell us about the movie so far:

The magical kingdom of Lucis is home to the sacred Crystal, and the menacing empire of Niflheim is determined to steal it. King Regis of Lucis (Sean Bean) commands an elite force of soldiers called the Kingsglaive. Wielding their king’s magic, Nyx (Aaron Paul) and his fellow soldiers fight to protect Lucis. As the overwhelming military might of the empire bears down, King Regis is faced with an impossible ultimatum – to marry his son, Prince Noctis to Princess Lunafreya of Tenebrae (Lena Headey), captive of Niflheim, and surrender his lands to the empire’s rule. Although the king concedes, it becomes clear that the empire will stop at nothing to achieve their devious goals, with only the Kingsglaive standing between them and world domination.

You can watch a new behind-the-scenes video below courtesy of IGN, which features the English cast and new footage:

The fully CG-animated Kingsglaive will be released worldwide as part of a media blitz marking the release of the long-awaited sequel to the granddaddy of all JRPGs. Final Fantasy XV debuts stateside Sept. 30.
