Neon Genesis Evangelion Is Coming to Final Fantasy XIV With a Crossover Raid Series Called Ghosts of Desire

  • On Friday, Square Enix announced Evercold, the seventh Final Fantasy XIV expansion, at the Fan Festival in Anaheim, California. Launching in January 2027, the expansion transports players to The Fourth, a realm ravaged by ever-spreading ice.
  • Evercold continues the 'Godless Realm Saga,' a narrative cycle that began with the 2024 Dawntrail expansion. Producer Naoki Yoshida described the setting as a 'Reflection fallen into ruin, ravaged by ever-spreading ice.'
  • Players can choose between a streamlined 'Evolved' playstyle or the traditional 'Reborn' mode in the new combat system. The team also revealed a 24-player crossover raid series featuring Neon Genesis Evangelion, launching through future updates.
  • Starting with Patch 7.5 on April 28, the team transitions the game toward a weekly reward system to reduce daily grind. This shift aims to help time-constrained players progress through endgame content at their own pace.
  • Square Enix plans to reveal further details in the coming months before Evercold launches in early 2027. Interim updates will bridge the narrative gap between current content and the expansion's release.
