Square Enix has finally revealed its brand-new Final Fantasy 14 expansion, Evercold, with plenty of exciting content to come – but something even bigger is dropping prior to 8.0, it turns out.
Those rumors of a Switch 2 version – you know, the ones reportedly teased by director Naoki "Yoshi-P" Yoshida himself in the past – have turned out to be true. That's right, during today's big keynote showcase at Fan Fast 2026, Square Enix unveiled that it's got a Switch 2 edition of Final Fantasy 14 cooking as work on Evercold presses on, and it's set to launch this August. That's a mere four months away from now.
Not only is it coming so soon, though, but it's also going to be preceded by a free trial that lasts one month. Yep, that means we'll all get to explore how Final Fantasy 14 runs on Nintendo's new handheld system before we fully commit to it. It's a pretty significant trial period, too, if you ask me... especially seeing as we'll have to pay an extra subscription fee if we like it on Switch 2.
