The next expansion for the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV has been revealed; it’s called FFXIV Evercold and it’s coming January 2027.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The teaser trailer dropped during the FFIXV Fan Fest keynote and showed the Warrior of Light and the Scions of the Seventh Dawn crossing into a new realm that appears to be freezing over. If you’ve been keeping up with the FFXIV Dawntrail 7.x patch series, you’ll recognize the new character Halmarut and her role in bringing the characters of FFXIV between worlds. This marks the beginning of a new story arc for the MMORPG that’s being called “The Godless Realms Saga.”<\/p>\n

For FFXIV players, what you need to know is that we’re going to the Fourth, a new reflection separate from anywhere we’ve been so far. It’s a realm that’s on the verge of freezing over, reminiscent of how The First was taken over by light in Shadowbringers.<\/p>\n

With FFXIV Patch 7.5 going live on April 28, its story content will act as the bridge that leads into what’s happening in Evercold (catch up on everything coming to FFXIV 7.5<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The keynote continued with showcasing the concept art and environmental design for the new zones in FFXIV Evercold. This includes imposing architecture and a wide range of biomes, which you can see below.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

Along with Evercold and FFXIV 8.0, Square Enix is making fundamental changes to how the core game works and how it’s focusing on “fighting off fatigue.” It’s also looking to modernize itself and teased a new UI; they showed an early mock-up that is subject to change (and it’s very reminiscent of Final Fantasy XVI, which the FFXIV team worked on).<\/p>\n
