During the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) East last weekend, Square Enix took to the stage and announced that their first expansion pack for Final Fantasy XIV, Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward, will be released in North America and other regions from June 23rd 2015. This expansion will be available on the PC, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 platforms; in addition to a Mac edition which will be available for the very first time.
As a pre-order bonus, Square Enix will be offering early access to the expansion’s extra content from June 19th 2015. Those who don’t update will still be able to access all the original content, but will be locked out of many new features introduced in Heavensward.
Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward will feature a new story which plunges adventurers into the heart of the Dragonsong War, the bloody thousand-year conflict between the knights of Ishgard and the dragons of Dravania. Adventurers can also look forward to an increased level cap from 50 to 60 for all disciplines, a new playable race, new dungeons and raids, new primal battles, and new mounts that allow players to take to the skies—flying black chocobos, single-rider airships, dragons and more!
