Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail Expansion Launches July 2, Adjusting for Elden Ring DLC

The highly anticipated expansion for Final Fantasy 14, Dawntrail, is set to launch on July 2, 2024, after a strategic delay to accommodate the release of Elden Ring's DLC.

Final Fantasy 14's Dawntrail expansion will enter early access on June 28, with full release slated for July 2, 2024, following a strategic delay to avoid clash with Elden Ring's DLC.
Dawntrail introduces new classes, raises the level cap to 100, and adds a new playable race, along with a variety of dungeons, raids, and trials.
Pre-orders for Dawntrail are set to open on March 26, offering bonuses like a wind-up Zidane minion and Azeyma's earrings, which increase EXP earned.
The expansion's Collector's Edition includes exclusive items like a Viper figure, an adventurer's cloth map, and in-game bonuses such as an Ark mount and a wind-up Garnet minion.
Final Fantasy 14 director Naoki Yoshida humorously notes the delay was to give players a week to enjoy Elden Ring's DLC before diving into Dawntrail, though also eagerly anticipates playing the DLC himself.
