Square Enix has delayed the release of Final Fantasy XIV's Evercold expansion to February 23, 2027, from its initial January launch window. Preorders for the expansion will open on November 4, 2026, and will include early access on February 19, 2027. The decision was made by Naoki 'Yoshi-P' Yoshida, the head of Final Fantasy XIV, due to quality concerns. Evercold will introduce new jobs, cities, areas, dungeons, trials, and a level cap increase. The Zephyr, a new physical ranged DPS job, will also be introduced. This expansion follows the release of Dawntrail in July 2024.
Final Fantasy XIV's Evercold expansion will feature a new job called Zephyr, a ranged physical DPS that uses quick-firing crossbows and a deadly pet bird in combat. The bird, called the Nephele, can coordinate attacks with the player and provide support from above. The Zephyr will be playable using the new Evolved combat system. The expansion will also include new areas such as Sessrymnir and Skioblaonir, and players who preorder will have early access starting on February 19, 2027.
