Final Fantasy XIV patch 5.5 site brings new teasers for Death Unto Dawn

March 18, 2021 The Final Fantasy XIV patch 5.5 teaser site has gone live.

If you're eager to sneak a peek at Final Fantasy XIV's next major patch, Square Enix is eager to whet your appetite. The teaser site for patch 5.5 has gone live with a new bit of key art hinting at the plot for Death Unto Dawn, and it looks like we're in for a whole lot of politics in the MMORPG game ahead of the launch of Endwalker later this year.

The teaser site features the likes of Merlwyb, Kan-E-Senna, Nanamo, Raubahn, and other characters who I am scared to Google because I've only just finished Heavensward. Their faces are all circling a globe in flames, hinting that the big players in Eorzea are going to be making some major decision about the fate of the world.

There's a big list of changes on the site, too, but it's pretty much what was revealed during the recent letter from the producer with director Naoki Yoshida and global community manager Toshio Murouchi. Quests for the main scenario will be split between the two parts, alongside a new Level 80 dungeon, Paglth'an. The YoRHa Dark Apocalypse raids continue, as does The Chronicles of Werlyt, this time offering a trial against the Diamond Weapon.
