Final Fantasy 14 On-line’s subsequent expansion, the summer-vacation journey Dawntrail, will formally launch on July 2, producer and director Naoki Yoshida introduced Sunday. Early entry to Dawntrail will go dwell on June 28, for gamers who’ve pre-ordered the expansion.
Yoshida introduced Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail’s launch date at PAX East during a panel that revisited the historical past of the on-line role-playing recreation and the journey to its new expansion. He famous that Sq. Enix needed to begin early entry to Dawntrail every week earlier, however “we figured that everyone would be interested in playing the Elden Ring DLC,” Shadow of the Erdtree, which launches on June 21. Yoshida’s announcement was met with laughter from the viewers who have been little question effectively conscious of the extremely anticipated releases of each add-ons.
“I’ll give you one week!” Yoshida mentioned, laughing, “Enjoy Elden Ring DLC, then just go into your summer vacation in Dawntrail.” He added, “I just want to make it clear, it’s not because I want to play Elden Ring DLC and then play Dawntrail, although I am looking forward to it.”
Elden Ring’s authentic launch in 2022 coincided with the launch of one other large open-world recreation, Horizon Forbidden West. Guerrilla Sport’s sequel to Horizon Zero Daybreak was launched one week earlier than Elden Ring, and FromSoftware’s recreation wound up dominating the discourse at the time, resulting in a extra muted response to Forbidden West. (The Horizon sequel has offered a couple of third of that of its predecessor, Sony says.) Sq. Enix is seemingly hoping to keep away from an identical destiny with Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail this summer season.
Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail will give gamers of the MMO a brand-new story, two new playable jobs (Pictomancer and Viper), new dungeons and encounters, and an elevated degree cap to 100. For extra, you possibly can atone for Yoshida’s Final Fantasy 14 panel from PAX East 2024 in the video under.
