The previous one, Endwalker, was released over a year ago, and fans of this popular MMORPG are eager for more. Fortunately, the game director, <strong>Naoki Yoshida, has announced the release date: July 2nd<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Named Dawntrail, this expansion will include everything you can expect. <strong>This implies a new story, two completely new classes with mechanics very different from anything seen before, and more dungeons in which to demonstrate our skills<\/strong>. In addition, to address all the challenges it will present, the maximum level will be increased to three digits, setting it at level 100. All this in an expansion that will cost $40 and will include all the content from the previous expansions, Shadowbringers and Endwalker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FINAL FANTASY XIV: DAWNTRAIL Full Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kgiuQwzB6aU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>About the release date, Yoshida wanted to clarify something important. Because as no one will miss, it comes out a week after the Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree. <strong>Something that Yoshida joked about giving us a week to play Shadow of the Erdtree and then immerse ourselves in Dawntrailer<\/strong>. Something he finished by saying that there was also another reason for that date: he also wants to play the DLC of the From Software game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, if you don&#8217;t want to wait for the two most anticipated expansions of the year, you should know that Square Enix has you covered. Because <strong>the second DLC of Final Fantasy XVI, The Rising Tides, will be released on April 18th and will include new stories, a new Eikon, and a new mode called Kairos Gate, more focused on action<\/strong>. So, if you are a fan of Final Fantasy, you have no excuse not to fully enjoy this 2024. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/is-a-final-fantasy-ix-remake-on-the-way-some-clues-suggest-so\"
