"Dawntrail Expansion: New Release Date and Elden Ring DLC Compatibility"

Final Fantasy 14's upcoming expansion, Dawntrail, will be released on July 2, 2024, with early access starting on June 28. The development team intentionally scheduled the release to allow players to enjoy the Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, for a week before diving into Dawntrail. Pre-orders for Dawntrail will open soon, offering in-game bonuses, and the expansion promises a tropical, sea-faring setting inspired by South America, providing a refreshing change from the previous expansion, Endwalker.
