Square Enix has released some new screenshots and details on Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII.

These screenshots show a new area called Dead Dunes. It is a desert location set in Nova Chrysalia which is one of the areas you will visit in the game.

There are some new gameplay mechanics like sliding around the sand dunes. You can check out the screenshot for that below. You can also extensively customise Lightning in the game.

There’s also a new ability called Overclock which allows her to slow down time and is only activated through a new point system called GP. The game was also said to have no QTEs, and the ending will be satisfying.

The game comes out later this year for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
