Final Fantasy XIV Online Endwalker Expansion Coming In November

Over the weekend, fans of MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV Online was blessed with the Final Fantasy XIV Fanfest, an annual event that celebrates all aspects of the game, and is where the developers make big announcements regarding the game. This year was digital due to obvious reasons and focused on the upcoming expansion Endwalker that will launch on November 23, 2021.

The release date wasn’t the only information revealed at the event as the Square Enix devs also revealed in details all that we can expect once the new expansion goes live in November.

Here’s a quick rundown of what to expect from the Endwalker expansion.

• New Job: Reaper

  A new sythe-wielding melee DPS who call for the aid of an avatar from the void. The job looks fun to play and rather stylish on how the Reaper utilizes their preferred weapon.

• New Playable Race: Male Viera

  Never knew why the male Viera wasn’t included when females were added during the Shadowbringers expansion but here we are. Does that mean we might get female Hrothgar in the future?

• New City: Old Sharlayan

  This will search as the new massive player hub for the Endwalker expansion.

• Travel to Expansive New Areas: Labyrinthos and Mare Lamentorum

• New Tribes to Encounter: Loporrits

• New Threats to Overcome: The Magus Sisters

  Just like previous Final Fantasy XIV content, the devs likes adding in familiar Final Fantasy characters and foes and this time players will get to face the Magus Sisters, the dangerous trio that first appeared in Final Fantasy IV.

• New Alliance Raid Series: “Myths of the Realm”

  The new alliance Raid series for Endwalker will focus heavily on Final Fantasy XIV Online lore this time and is an original piece of content for the MMORPG. Recent alliance raids were inspired by previous Final Fantasy titles and was a cross between another game. The Shadowbringers expansion had a NieR themed alliance raid while Stormblood had a raid that’s mixed in Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy XII characters and lore.

• A New Data Center: Oceania

  This is good news as many hoped more Data Centers will be released to covers regions and it looks like the new Oceania Data Center will be a solid option for Australia and New Zealand players.

Final Fantasy XIV Online officially launches on the PS5 next week

During the event, Devs also revealed that the PS5 version of Final Fantasy XIV will officially launch on May 25. Though you can play the MMORPG right now on your PS5, that version is still treated as the open beta version. Not much will change if you’re enjoying the game right now on console as it’s them making it official.

The November release of Endwalker is months away but the devs at Square Enix has laid out a schedule of what’s to come in Final Fantasy XIV that will lead up to the expansion’s launch, which you can see below.

The Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker expansion launches on November 23, 2021 and will conclude the Hydaelyn and Zodiark storyline that started at the beginning of the game, when the MMORPG relaunched in 2013 as Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
