Final Fantasy XIV has locked in the official roadmap for its global Fan Festival 2026, giving players a clear calendar for the year’s biggest expansion reveal. According to a new letter from producer-director Naoki Yoshida, the MMORPG will host three in-person events on three continents: Anaheim, California, April 24–25; Berlin, Germany, July 25–26; and Tokyo, Japan, October 31–November 1. In the announcement video, Yoshida thanked the community and business partners for carrying the game into its 12th anniversary and promised that each Fan Fest will “unveil major plans” for what’s next after Dawntrail. Ticket sales open later this year; pricing tiers and online streaming details are expected soon to help time-pressed Warriors of Light reserve the dates that matter most for the future of Eorzea.
