Final Fantasy XIV: Evercold launches February 23, 2027
Final Fantasy XIV’s next expansion, Evercold, has a release date. Square Enix opened pre-orders on November 4 and confirmed the launch for Tuesday, February 23, 2027, with early access starting a few days earlier.
The dates
- Early access: Friday, February 19, 2027, at 1:00 a.m. PST / 9:00 GMT / 20:00 AEDT.
- Full release: Tuesday, February 23, 2027.
Early access is tied to the pre-order, as it has been for every recent FFXIV expansion — pre-purchase to play from the 19th rather than the 23rd.
What the pre-order includes
The pre-purchase is priced at $44.99 and grants two bonus in-game items immediately: a new minion and an accessory that increases EXP earned. Square Enix points to the dedicated Evercold website for anything beyond that.
What we don’t know yet
This announcement is a date and a pre-order, not a content breakdown. The post does not state the new level cap, any new jobs or races, the zones, the story premise, or the server and data-centre details. None of that is confirmed here, so none of it is recorded on this site yet — we will add it from Square Enix’s own reveals as they land, never from leaks (rumored content is not published here).
What changes on this site
Nothing changes today. Final Fantasy XIV’s daily, weekly and other reset tracking stays on the current 7.55 patch — Evercold does not alter any of it until it goes live.
When early access opens on February 19, the expansion re-sets the game’s recurring content, and the FFXIV checklist will be re-captured and verified in-game against the new version before anything on those pages moves.
