SQUARE ENIX REVEALS STORMBLOOD, THE NEXT MAJOR EXPANSION FOR FINAL FANTASY XIV (Video)

This past weekend, SQUARE ENIX® unveiled the highly-anticipated second expansion to FINAL FANTASY® XIV during its Fan Festival in Las Vegas. Following the success of Heavensward™, the next chapter in the beloved MMO will take players to new and exciting locations.

Making its world debut, the Stormblood™ teaser trailer showcases the Warrior of Light honing his new skills during a high-octane sparring match with a mysterious woman clad in red atop a colossal stone statue, while resistance fighters prepare for battle below.  The new expansion will include new jobs; an increased level cap up to level 70; sprawling new areas to explore; a revamped battle system; and all-new dungeons, raids, and alliance battle content.

More information on Stormblood will be shared at the Tokyo Fan Festival event on December 24-25, 2016, as well as during the European Fan Festival in Frankfurt, scheduled for February 18-19, 2017.

The summer 2017 release of Stormblood will also mark the end of PlayStation 3® support of FINAL FANTASY XIV. During the keynote, SQUARE ENIX detailed plans for a free upgrade service to the PlayStation 4® version, which will allow for players on the PlayStation 3® system to seamlessly continue their adventures following the launch of Stormblood.
