Square Enix has officially announced a revised launch date for Final Fantasy 14: Evercold, the next major expansion bringing Patch 8.0 to the MMORPG. The expansion will now release on February 23, 2027, a slight delay from the previously announced January window.

Early access will begin on February 19, 2027, giving players with early access eligibility four days to explore new content, experience story developments, and engage with the expansion's latest features ahead of the full launch.

Global pre-orders are set to open on November 4. Square Enix has also unveiled a premium Collector's Edition for dedicated players. The package includes a detailed Reaper class figure, an exclusive Ethos metal keychain, a miniature Kottr mascot plush, and a themed "Tapestry of the Fourth," all presented in a commemorative Evercold collector's art box.

Evercold is expected to continue Final Fantasy 14's tradition of expansive storylines and new gameplay experiences for both veteran Warriors of Light and returning players. With pre-orders approaching and early access scheduled for mid-February, Square Enix is building momentum for what the publisher positions as a significant update in the game's ongoing evolution.
