Final Fantasy 14's Dawntrail will be released in full on July 2, 2024 (Early Access will launch a week earlier on June 28), so both you and the Dawntrail development team have “one week” to complete the long-awaited Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of. the Erdtree.
Speaking at PAX East This weekend, producer and director Naoki “Yoshi-P” Yoshida teased that the team was hoping to open early access a week early, but then… “Elden Ring DLC…”
Trailer for FINAL FANTASY XIV: DAWNTRAIL“We thought everyone would be interested in playing the Elden Ring DLC,” Yoshi-P said, then held up a finger. “I'll give you a week!”
“I'll give you a week to enjoy the Elden Ring DLC and then go on your summer vacation to Dawntrail.
“I just want to make it clear, [the release date] “It's not because I want to play the Elden Ring DLC and then play Dawntrail,” he added, laughing. “I'm looking forward to it though.”
Pre-orders will open later this week, on Tuesday, March 26, 2024, at 9am UK time, and those who pre-order will receive a set of in-game Azeyma earrings and a Zidane minion from rope. Yoshi-P also took an adoring audience through what's coming in the Collector's Edition.
Dawntrail will follow Endwalker, which was so popular at launch that the game was pulled from sale. The new expansion features a host of returning characters and a tropical marine setting seemingly inspired by South America.
In fact, Yoshida described it as “the best summer vacation” for Warriors of Light and a big change from Endwalker.
