Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail Expansion Revealed, Coming Summer 2024

Final Fantasy XIV publisher Square Enix and developer Creative Business Unit III have revealed Dawntrail, the MMO’s next expansion, and it hits the game next summer. 

Square Enix released Dawtrail on the first day in Las Vegas of the Final Fantasy XIV fan festival 2023. A new trailer showcases the New World, a tropical paradise, and the many characters that will be in this new location. Shortly after the reveal, director Naoki Yoshida took the stage to discuss the expansion as part of the Fan Festival’s keynote presentation.

Yoshida claims that Yoshitaka amano created the Dawntrail Logo using the gold color, the theme of the expansion. Check out the Dawntrail brand below.

Speaking to the story, Yoshida says, “We want to bring the very best summer vacation a hero could possibly have” to the Warriors of Light (the players). Without spoiling the events of 2021’s Endwalker expansion, Yoshida says Dawntrail is a significant shift from the previous expansion. Dawntrail, where Endwalker had a dark tone with the possibility of ending the universe at stake, is lighter and brighter. 

“It’s a new beginning of Final Fantasy XIV [and]It is about a discovery journey. As you know, the arc we’ve been on from 1.0 to Endwalker about Hydaelyn and Zodiark has concluded. So you can think of this as our first step into a new story for Final Fantasy XIV.”

The story is in the development stage…
