It's been nearly two years since Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV) released the Dawntrail expansion in 2024, taking the popular Final Fantasy MMORPG's story beyond the Hydaelyn and Zodiark Saga and to the "New World" of Tural. Indeed, players across Xbox, PC, and PlayStation have been waiting to see the next big DLC for quite a while — and now, thanks to a new reveal, we know where we're headed next.
Square Enix and Creative Studio 3 — and FFXIV director Naoki "Yoshi-P" Yoshida, specifically — officially announced the next expansion, Final Fantasy XIV: Evercold, during the opening keynote of the FFXIV Fan Festival 2026 in Anaheim. It was revealed with a lengthy four and a half minute-long teaser trailer at the start of the presentation, with additional details shared by Yoshi-P afterwards.
