As Final Fantasy XV achieves a new sales milestone, the in-game event "Moogle Chocobo Carnival" gets a release date.

Square Enix just announced via press release that its latest JRPG Final Fantasy XV has exceeded six million shipped copies since its launch on November 29th.

The press release explains that the number includes shipped copies to brick and mortar stores worldwide and digital downloads on the PlayStation Store and Xbox Live.

On top of that, we also learn that the promised in-game event "Moogle Chocobo Carnival" will be available for a limited time started on January 24th. If you downloaded the first DLC you should already have the "carnival passport" ticket that will grant you access to the festivities.

This means that the game shipped an additional million copies since its release, considering that Square Enix announced that shipments exceeded five million copies on its release day.
