Square Enix has pushed the Final Fantasy XIV: Evercold expansion launch from January to February 23, 2027, announcing the four-week delay alongside a six-minute cinematic trailer at Japan Fan Fest. The trailer introduces massive city-sized airships called Realmships, two new job classes — the gunshield-wielding Bastion tank and crossbow-toting Zephyr DPS with a bird companion — and confirms a Neon Evangelion crossover event arriving in 2027.
Final Fantasy 14 launches on Nintendo Switch 2 on August 4th with a massive 117.2 GB file size and the full free trial experience intact. The port introduces the new Bastion tank class wielding dual greatshields called skyltborg alongside the Evercold expansion and Godless Realms Saga story arc. A separate subscription is required, though dual subscribers receive a 50 percent discount on the Switch 2 version.
