Final Fantasy 14 is getting fo▨ur new Worlds later this month on June 11, to help manage the inevitable onslaught of sign-ins come Dawntrail's arrival on June 28.

Announced just earlier today, Cuchulainn, Golem, Kraken, and Rafflesia will be the four new Worlds coming to Final Fantasy 14's North Am𓆏erican Data Centre, Dynamis, later this month on June 11. These will compliment the existing 24 Worlds for North American players, and expand the Dynamis server so that it matches the eight Worlds in the other servers.

This means North American players will now have the same number of Worlds as their Japanese counterparts, 28 in total. North American players were way ahead of their European and Oceanian counterparts even before the f♎our new Worlds, as the former has 16 Worlds in total, w♛hile the latter has just five (Oceania servers were the most recent to launch in January 2022).

Housing and Free Comp🍎any pl♉ots will be made available for purchase the very day the new North American servers go live on June 11. From around 8 am PT/11 am ET, there'll be nine Wards available for Free Company plots, and 14 wards available for private housing.

It's not hard to see why Square Enix is rolling out these new Worlds now. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail is right around the corner from going into early access on June 28, and the developer definitely doesn't want a repeat of the Endwalker launch from late 2021, when servers were so busy and strained that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the entire MMO was removed from sa𓆉le for newcomers.

If you're excited for Dawntrail, make sure to tune into the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:next Final Fantasy 14 live show, which takes place later this month on June 14, and will focus primarily on the upcoming 7.0 update, which goes live alongside the new expansion.
