FFXIV Patch 4.4 Release Date and Details Revealed During Letter From the Producer Live
Square Enix has revealed the FFXIV patch 4.4 release date and crucial details during the latest Letter from the Producer Live. This upcoming update is going to be the latest in the post-Stormblood content and the fourth major one since the expansion initially launched just over a year ago. It will be releasing mid-September. Being that it is a major update, players can look forward to a substantial amount of content to be added.
In fact, FFXIV patch 4.4 might be one of the largest non-expansion updates to date for the popular Square Enix MMORPG. Not only does it include the typical new changes and additions that you would expect, but it also comes soon after the release of the Monster Hunter World crossover. That content alone is worthy of its patch and post, which you can read more about here.
In addition to the Monster Hunter World crossover event, FFXIV patch 4.4 will include the expected new content for a major story patch. Final Fantasy XIV players can look forward to the next set of main story quests that is sure to be exciting given the surprise twists that occurred during patch 4.3 in May.
FFXIV patch 4.4 will also feature new side quests in The Four Lords and Hildibrand Adventures for players to complete. In terms of content, patch 4.4 is not holding back at all. Two new dungeons will be debuting; The Burn and Saint Mocianne’s Arboretum Hard. These are sure to be your typical four-player dungeons.
The Four Lords side storyline will now have players face off against the next of the Lords, Suzaku. No details have been given just yet as to what to expect from this eight-player fight. Speaking of eight-player content, FFXIV patch 4.4 will also bring us the next in the Omega raids with Alphascape. Lastly, there will be updates to jobs, PvP, the battle system, Eureka, gathering, crafting, Grand Companies, housing, The Gold Saucer, and more.
