Final Fantasy 14 fans can mark their calendars as the highly anticipated Dawntrail expansion is set to launch in early access on June 28th, followed by a full release on July 2nd. The announcement was made by producer Yoshi P during PAX East, where he discussed the thought process behind the release date.
Yoshi-P acknowledged the close proximity of Dawntrail’s release to another RPG, Elden Ring’s Shadow Of The Erdtree expansion, which is scheduled to release on June 21st. He revealed that the development team initially aimed for an earlier release date but decided to give players time to enjoy the Elden Ring DLC first.
It is refreshing to see game developers like Yoshi-P openly acknowledge other games in the industry. He expressed his excitement for the Elden Ring DLC and humorously stated, “I’ll give you one week to enjoy the Elden Ring DLC and then just go into your summer vacation into Dawntrail.” This level of respect and camaraderie between developers is commendable and shows a genuine passion for gaming.
Yoshi-P’s admiration for games goes beyond just Final Fantasy. He has expressed interest in collaborating with Blizzard for a Diablo crossover in the past. This willingness to embrace and appreciate games from other developers only adds to the excitement surrounding the upcoming expansion.
As a non-expert in Final Fantasy lore, it is clear that Yoshi-P’s passion for gaming shines through his interactions with the community and other developers. His genuine enthusiasm for games, whether they are from his own franchise or others, creates a sense of unity within the gaming industry.
The announcement of the Dawntrail expansion release date not only sets the stage for a new chapter in Final Fantasy 14 but also exemplifies the spirit of camaraderie and mutual respect among game developers. Yoshi-P’s willingness to acknowledge and appreciate other games only adds to the excitement and anticipation surrounding the upcoming expansion.
