Final Fantasy XIV's Evercold Expansion Slips to a Later Date

Final Fantasy XIV's next expansion, Evercold, is no longer on track for the early-year window that had been planned. Players who were expecting the MMORPG's latest add-on soon after the new year will have to wait a little longer.

The revised timing was shared at FFXIV Fan Fest, where the development team also announced a new release date. The summary available for this story does not include the exact day, so anyone planning around the launch should check the official Final Fantasy XIV channels for the confirmed date and any platform or pre-order details.

Expansion delays are not unusual for large online games, which tend to ship major content on a schedule that depends on many moving parts. The brief announcement does not spell out what led to the change, so the reasons remain unclear for now. For the Warriors of Light who have been counting down to Evercold, the update means a longer wait, but a firm target is now on the calendar.
