Get ready for the next big adventure Final Fantasy 14 fans because the next expansion for the massive MMORPG has just been announced, and it’s called Dawntrail. At the Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival, Square Enix revealed tons of exciting news, most notable of which were the announcements of the new expansion as well as the title coming to Xbox.
Final Fantasy 14 has come a long way from its horrible release. The original title had one of gaming’s most notorious launches, but after a slew of revisions, it’s one of, if not the most popular, MMORPGs out there. And now more people will get to take part in the epic adventure.

Dawntrail to be The Next Major Expansion For Final Fantasy 14
Announced at the Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival, Dawntrail will be the next adventure for you to embark on. Along with the announcement came a teaser trailer, which shows what the story will have to offer. Square Enix has previously released several massive expansions for the title, with Endwalker being the most recent. Though many consider it a fitting conclusion, some are still craving more.
Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail will officially release in Summer 2024. It’s quite a long wait, but it seems fitting, as the expansion has been described as feeling like “a Summer Vacation worthy of a hero”. The expansion will feature a new continent to explore.
The teaser also features many returning heroes with a fresh coat of paint. That’s right, Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail will feature the title’s first ever graphical enhancement. Even in its current state, the game looks wonderful, but the fact that it can and will look even better is mind-blowing and really exciting.
Both Final Fantasy 14 and it’s New Expansion Dawntrail Are Coming To Xbox
Finally, after almost 10 years, Final Fantasy 14 is coming to Xbox. More specifically the Xbox Series X/S consoles. Unfortunately, there will be no Xbox One version of the game. The game will also be available with all the previously released expansions, and the upcoming Dawntrail expansion will also be available once it releases.
As announced by Square Enix at the Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival, the game will release on Xbox Series X/S in Spring 2024. It’ll be a long wait, but thankfully it’ll release a bit before Dawntrail, allowing players to experience the previous content before moving on to the new expansion.
