23 February 2027 is the launch date for Final Fantasy 14's Evercold expansion, unveiled at Fan Festival 2026 alongside Zephyr, a new physical ranged DPS that fights with a crossbow and avian familiar Nephele.
4 November pre-orders will open with early access and two bonuses: a Wind-Up Köttr minion and Halone's Earring, which boosts EXP from defeated enemies by 30%.
Square Enix also outlined edition details: the Collector's Box is physical goods only, while the Digital Collector's Edition adds a Valhallar Odin mount, Entreat Crystal emote and a Bastion weapon skin.
The keynote added broader 8.0 features including Fierce raid difficulty, Evolved Combat Mode, Seasons reward changes and expanded character creation, with housing, PvP and companion chocobo updates due from patch 8.1.
35 million registered accounts now make up FF14's player base as Square Enix expands the MMO's reach, including its newly launched Switch 2 version.
