Final Fantasy XIV continues to be a noteworthy MMO experience thanks to a bevy of large-scale content drops (Shadowbringers<\/a> is incredible!) and consistent patch updates. The RPG always feels fresh, offering a bunch of interesting quests and dazzling environments to unearth for newcomers as well as dedicated players. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to the recent announcement of \u201cEndwalker<\/a>\u201d – an expansion that implements two new jobs, raises the level cap by ten, and takes players to the moon – Final Fantasy XIV is getting even more content with the \u201cDeath Unto Dawn\u201d 5.5 update which will serve as an engaging preamble to Endwalker\u2019s Fall release. Most importantly, however, a beta is launching on PlayStation 5 this Spring with a free upgrade for PlayStation 4 players.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The most important features coming alongside 5.5 include a two-part mainline quest which will set up the Endwalker storyline, the next chapter in the Nier-inspired \u201cYorha: Dark Alliance\u201d series of raids (by the way, if you haven\u2019t played Nier: Automata yet, you absolutely should!<\/a>), the conclusion to the \u201cSorrow of Werlyt\u201d story,\u00a0 a new dungeon, and a new field to explore. Smaller quality-of-life changes that range from more crafting tools to job adjustments for PvP and PvE engagements have also been planned to arrive alongside the bigger content. You can check out everything that Square Enix has planned for the game by watching the\u00a0Letter from the Producer livestream<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Death Unto Dawn 5.5 update drops on April 13 alongside Final Fantasy XIV\u2019s PlayStation 5 open beta. Based on the trailer above, players can expect high-resolution interfaces, impressive load times (this is especially apparent with fast-traveling), 4K visuals, and noticeable performance improvements to gameplay and framerate as a whole.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For those of you that are excited for the future of Final Fantasy XIV, a post<\/a> on the Official PlayStation Blog promises that more information will be coming during the Digital Fan Festival in May. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
