Next week, Warriors of Light on North American, European and Japanese servers will be able to commence new journeys in Eorzea and beyond through Square Enix releasing Final Fantasy XIV Patch 5.5: Death Unto Dawn. This will be the first of two major instalments as part of this patch cycle, which will begin setting the scene for upcoming expansion pack Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. Square Enix has recently shared the preliminary patch notes for the planned update.
These patch notes are only preliminary, so some content may be added or removed prior to final launch. In addition, some advertised features of this update such as Save the Queen: Blades of Gunnhildr and the Resistance Weapon Upgrades will be unlocked at a later date. They also redact some content, to both avoid spoilers and to keep some surprises for when players first log in.
