With a new expansion pack for Final Fantasy XIV having launched every two years, 2021 is expected to be the year where the online game’s next major upgrade and overhaul is due to go live. Due to COVID-19 hampering development last year, there is still quite a bit of content expected from Shadowbringers yet. Still, many expect to see the next chapter of FFXIV’s main story, new character classes, increased level cap and more go live.
Suppose you are eager to see where the Final Fantasy XIV narrative goes next following our adventures in The First. In that case, you will want to tune into Square Enix’s Youtube, Niconico or Twitch channels from 5.30 pm PST on 5 February 2021 (Saturday 6 February 2021 at 12.30 pm AEST). This is when the “Announcement Showcast” will be livestreamed, and is expected to confirm details on the next, currently untitled, expansion pack.
Unlike the Letter from the Producer Live streams which are more regular but only have translated slides, this will have a live interpretation of all announcements made. This is an honour typically saved for significant announcements such as new expansion packs.
If you cannot watch the stream live, be sure to tune in to The Otaku’s Study afterwards for a recap all announcements made.
