FINAL FANTASY XIV: Evercold

Warrior of Light─In shattered skies, wander not alone.

Early Access Start Date: Friday, 19 February 2027

In the time of the ancients, Etheirys was divided across ten and three reflections to avert a terrible calamity. Thus, for twelve thousand years did the star survive, and by its enduring hope did the Warrior of Light at last thwart its Final Days.

Yet victory comes at a cost, and fate now demands its due.

Faced with the new threat of the Solstice, the Warrior of Light is summoned to the Fourth reflection. But what do they hope to gain from wandering a world lost to ice?

Hold fast to your convictions and join with your comrades as you brave the ever-expanding world of FINAL FANTASY XIV!
