Now that Square Enix has lifted the veil on its brand-new Final Fantasy 14 expansion, Evercold, with a release date set for January 2027, everyone is understandably excited for all its new content – especially the Evangelion crossover raids.
Or, well, maybe I'm just especially excited for them, but still. As director Naoki "Yoshi-P" Yoshida revealed during today's big keynote showcase at Fan Fest 2026 in Anaheim, California, Final Fantasy 14 is indeed getting a new Evangelion raid series – one that apparently will "span all multiple tiers" – and I can't wait.
It feels like the big NieR Automata raid set – the YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse series – from Shadowbringers, but somehow even better. There's no telling what wild mech boss encounters we might see yet, but it's huge news nonetheless for those of us still avidly into the anime, which is one of the most influential of all time, from the '90s.
