Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail expansion announced

During Final Fantasy XIV Fan Fest yesterday, Square Enix announced the MMO's next major expansion, Dawntrail. Scheduled to release in 2024, Dawntrail will bring a new campaign set in the “New World”, the level cap will increase from 90 to 100 and players will have new class jobs to try out.

Dawntrail is planned to release in Summer 2024 and will be the first expansion to launch day-one on Xbox, alongside PC and PlayStation. Ahead of the expansion, Final Fantasy 14 will finally launch on Xbox, and with Patch 6.5x, an open beta for the new console version will become available. The next major Final Fantasy 14 patch will also greatly expand the game's free trial, which will now include all content from the base game, Heavensward and Stormblood expansions.

Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail is set in a new continent on Eorzea, known as Tural. Players will be asked to take part in the selection process to find Tural's next ruler and resolve a conflict between two factions. Tural will include a new hub city, new dungeons and enemies, new gear and recipes for crafting, new raids and a big PvP update.

Square Enix has not yet officially revealed the two new Jobs coming with the expansion, but we do know that both will be DPS jobs, with one focused on melee combat and the other focused on ranged magic.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
