During the Fan Fest this past week, Square Enix revealed an all-new major expansion coming to Final Fantasy XIV Online which will be called Dawntrail. The game will be adding a new storyline that will become a fixture of the game moving forward as we'll see the Warrior of Light venture into the New World and see Tural for the first time. The game will also see some overall performance improvements when the expansion rolls along, which will be sometime in the Summer of 2024. For now, enjoy the info, screenshots, and trailer below.
