Fans can finally look forward to a release date for Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail. However, the expansion is coming a little later than planned – and the reason is strange.
When does Dawntrail come out? Fans can now look forward to an official release date for Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail. The expansion will be released on July 2nd, 2024.
However, those who pre-order will receive earlier access and can play Dawntrail from June 28, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. (CET). You should probably be able to pre-order the expansion on Steam from Tuesday, March 26, 2024.

It was specifically decided to leave a week apart between the two releases, Yoshi-P said in his statement. Players should probably have enough time to have fun in Elden Ring, only to then have time for the MMORPG and Dawntrail.

Yoshi-P himself seems to be no exception. Because he himself says that he really wants to play Shadow of the Erdtree. So maybe the team would like to give themselves a quiet week to play the Elden Ring DLC in peace before they get fully occupied with Dawntrail.
What awaits you in Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail? In the big expansion you can expect not only a graphical update and new story content, but also a number of new features.
Among other things, you get:
There will also be a new playable race in Final Fantasy XIV. So you will soon be able to play female Hrothgar. You can even play this without Dawntrail if you own the Shadowbringers expansion.
