When is the FF14 Dawntrail release date? FF14 7.0 will be the fifth major expansion for Final Fantasy 14 since its relaunch as A Realm Reborn. The critically acclaimed MMORPG delivers one of the most richly designed worlds to explore, telling finely crafted, character-led stories that can bring you to joy or devastation. While it's great with friends or other players online, FF14 can be played entirely solo as well, letting you enjoy it however you like.

FFXIV Dawntrail is the upcoming expansion for this hugely successful MMORPG. Unlike most of the other entries in Square Enix's Final Fantasy series, which are predominantly single-player RPG gamesFF14 is an online multiplayer world frequented by millions of players, and has been growing ever since its launch in 2013. Here's a first look at Dawntrail, including everything we know about the setting and story, as well as the new jobs, graphics update, and the FF14 Dawntrail release date.

The full trailer for Final Fantasy XIV's fifth expansion Dawntrail released during the FFXIV Fan Fest 2024 Tokyo keynote. The full trailer showcases the entire theme song for the upcoming expansion without any cuts or edits. In addition, it gives players a nice glimpse of the new expansion region known as Tural.

The full trailer expands upon the previous version from the past two FFXIV Dawntrail Fan Fest announcements. It shows off some new details, including the first look at the Pictomancer job class. Familiar Scions of the Seventh Dawn member Krile will become a Pictomancer, and the trailer shows her painting with her brush weapon to create a flying creature.

In addition to that, a brand new character is shown as the very end of the trailer. She appears to be a female Hrothgar who is riding the boat alongside the Warrior of Light to the land of Tural. She is the person who will bring and guide the player to the land of Tural for the upcoming competition for the throne's succession.

No release date was given alongside the full trailer. Instead, it has the same release window of Summer 2024. Producer Naoki Yoshida revealed during the Fan Fest keynote an internal release date exists. However, the team wants to avoid another delay like what happened with Endwalker, so it remains internal for now. However, the team remains dedicated and insistent the expansion will release in the summer.

The Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail expansion will come out for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on July 2024.

Square Enix announced the release date window for the FFXIV Xbox Series X and S beta testing phase. Players on the Xbox platform will finally have the chance to check out one of the largest MMORPGs of all time in February 2024.

There isn't an exact FFXIV Xbox Series X and S beta release date just yet, but Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida released a window at the Tokyo Fan Fest 2024. Players on Xbox will have the chance to check out the game and all of the current content available for it during that time.

Presumably during this time, new players will be able to check out the game through the free trial. In addition, existing players will likely be able to access their account on an Xbox Series X or S.

It is uncertain how long the open beta will last, but players will likely have to purchase the game once the full launch arrives.

Beastmaster Is the Next FFXIV Limited Job

During the FFXIV Fan Festival 2024 keynote, Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida revealed the new limited job will Beastmaster. It will be added to the game in "the latter part of 7.X." 

At the moment, only the name for the role appeared. Yoshida noted when discussing the Beastmaster that the team is looking into a "collection" feature for it. Yoshida also said, "As a limited job, we are proceeding with plans to allow you to play solo or in parties with other limited jobs." He also noted art and more details about it will appear eventually. 

When implemented following the Dawntrail 7.0 patches, the Beastmaster will become the second limited job in FFXIV. At the moment, the Blue Mage is the only one available. As it is limited, there are certain duties that aren't available and solo ones aren't available. That job features a mechanic that involves learning spells by watching different enemies use them when fighting and defeating them. 

As a reminder, there will be two full jobs appearing in FFXIV Dawntrail as well. One is the Viper, which appeared at the 2023 Fan Fest London. The other is the Pictomancer, which debuted at Fan Fest 2024 Tokyo.

Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC. It is also headed to the Xbox Series X in Spring 2024. The Dawntrail expansion is in development for a Summer 2024 release.
