Final Fantasy XIV: Evercold dated 23 February 2027; pre-orders open

Square Enix has locked the Final Fantasy XIV: Evercold expansion for Tuesday 23 February 2027, moved back from its earlier January slot, with pre-orders opening 4 November and a second new job — Zephyr — unveiled alongside the date. That puts a major MMO expansion launch on the exact same day as Fable, which is either confidence or chaos depending on your free time. Evercold is an expansion rather than a standalone release, but at FFXIV's scale it will still be one of February's biggest PC and PS5 events.
