Kingsglaive se passe dans le monde d'Eos qui ressemble à la Terre, en parallèle des événements d'ouverture de Final Fantasy XV. Eos est divisé en multiples nations qui détenaient autrefois des cristaux magiques. À présent, le royaume de Lucis est la seule nation à posséder un cristal, que la dynastie Caelum régnante utilise pour se défendre des envahisseurs via un mur magique.
