The patch will be called "Futures Rewritten" and brings fresh content to the Shadowbringers expansion, with a number of updates and new content for adventurers of all playstyles. Additionally, Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida revealed plans to support the PS4 version while also expanding into the PS5, as the last patch (5.35 coming out October 13th) will probably be the last that is strictly a PS4 patch.
