While Square Enix isn’t willing to say what it plans to announce,Final Fantasy 14fans are already near-to-certain what to expect.Shadowbringers,Final Fantasy 14’s third expansion, was released in July 2019. With Square Enix’s routine of launching a new expansion every two years, that means a fourth expansion should be ready for 2021. All eyes will be on the February event to see what’s coming next forFinal Fantasy 14.
Typically,Final Fantasy 14’s new expansion would be announced already. Square Enix has typically made the reveal during the year prior to release.Shadowbringers, for example, was announced in November 2018. It’s likely that theCOVID-19 pandemichas impacted development and marketing plans, however. The delayed announcement could also mean that the expansion will be delayed, pushed into late 2021 rather than the normal June or July releases.Final Fantasy 14fans will be waiting with anticipation.
Final Fantasy 14is available now on PC and PS4.
