Final Fantasy XIV Patch 7.1 Crossroads Release Date Announced

It's been a hot minute since we first stepped foot on the continent of Tural. It was here we began our journey with Wuk Lamat on her quest to become the next dawnservant, the leader of Tulliyollal. For those of us that have finished the Dawntrail expansion, battled our way through the Arcadion, and collected every tricky new minion, it's time to look ahead to what the future holds.

Dawntrail will be getting its first major update since launch, with the release of Patch 7.1 Crossroads. Here, Warriors of Light will have more Main Scenario Quests to complete, and plenty more. 

When Does FFXIV Dawntrail Patch 7.1 Release?

FFXIV Dawntrail Patch 7.1 is currently scheduled to release on November 12, 2024. This marks roughly four months since the launch of Dawntrail. As for the Main Scenario Quests, the story will follow on from Wuk Lamat and friends' discovery at Living Memory, and how the party plans to move forward.
