Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers launches

Square Enix has announced the launch of Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers, the latest expansion for the MMORPG that recently celebrated more than 16 million registered accounts.

Shadowbringers takes players beyond the world of Hydaelyn for the first time as they journey to the First and the realm of Norvrandt. The expansion adds new roles: The Gunbreaker is a new tank role who wields the iconic gunblade, utilizing ammo cartridges to protect their party from harm. The Dancer, a ranged attacker, not only unleashes powerful attacks using throwing weapons, but also dances to execute abilities which provide beneficial effects to their party.

New races Viera and Hrothgar are also added. The rabbit-like Viera are joined by the burly and lion-like Hrothgar, both with unique, customizable features specific to their races.

With New Game+, players can replay previously completed quests while retaining current progression and job level. The level cap will be raised to 80. Further, players will have the opportunity to challenge dungeons with a party of trusted non-player characters, including members of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. Traditional party matching systems will remain available.

Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers is out now for PC and PS4.
