At PAX East over the weekend, Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward, the first expansion for the MMORPG, will be released on June 23, 2015, in North America.

Heavensward will feature a new story that takes adventurers into the heart of the Dragonsong War, the conflict between the knights of Ishgard and the dragons of Dravania. Adventurers can also look forward to an increased level cap from 50 to 60 for all disciplines, a new playable race, new dungeons and raids, new primal battles, and new mounts that allow players to take to the skies — flying black chocobos, single-rider airships, dragons and more.

Also, a Mac OS version of the title will be available for the first time, and can be acquired through the Square Enix Online Store. Players who preorder will be able to get early access to the online title starting June 19, 2015.

Final Fantasy XIV is available for PC, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4.
