Final Fantasy 14: Endwalkerlaunched in December 2021, closing out a storyline that was a decade in the making. Many were left wondering what was next for the Warrior of Light after their harrowing confrontation in Ultima Thule, thwarting the song of oblivion and restoring hope to Etheirys. The answer was hinted at by the game – returning to a simple life of adventure – and it’s possible that this theme will follow the storyline ofEndwalker’spatches.
Square Enix’s team in charge ofFinal Fantasy 14has slowly started to unveil the upcoming content due to arrive in 6.1 and beyond through Letter From The Producer livestreams, as well as Live Letters – the 70th of which is slated to premiere on April 1st. Given the longevity of their Live Letter blog, one can extrapolate when “Newfound Adventure” will drop based on previous patch launches.

Traditionally, the second Live Letter would always debut 11 days before theFinal Fantasy 14major content patchit showcases. There have only been two occurrences in the past 6 years when this has not been the case. This tentatively puts the release date for Patch 6.1, bearing the name “Newfound Adventure”, for April 12th – with the new Dragonsong Ultimate fight arriving two weeks later on April 26th.
The content that 6.1 will bring to the game is substantial, as it will mark the debut ofEndwalker’sAlliance raid storyline, the continuation of the Manderville quests, a new Tataru questline,Endwalker’scustom delivers, Ishgard housing, and an adaptation of all 4-man duties from A Realm Reborn (sans patches) to theTrust system introduced inShadowbringers.
Even though many players are stoked to see what awaits them in “Newfound Adventure,” many have failed to ignore the curious date on which the Live Letter is set to debut. TheFinal Fantasy 14team is no stranger to April Fools' jokes and has made some hilarious ones over the years. Some in the community have joked that the live letter would start by announcing NFTs forFinal Fantasy 14, a concept that Naoki Yoshida stated would never become a part of the game, while others joked thatFinal Fantasy 14would be going mobile, a jab at the reception theinfamousDiablo: Immortalannouncementreceived back in 2018.
TheFinal Fantasy 14live letter will likely not be translated into English by Square Enix, as translation is traditionally reserved for expansion announcements only, but the information gleaned from it will likely reach English speakers just a few hours after the premiere.
Final Fantasy 14: Endwalkeris available now for PC, PS4, and PS5.
