Square Enix once again decided to share a bunch of fresh information about their upcoming Final Fantasy XIV expansion, Shadowbringers. This fresh batch of information includes a new gameplay video along with a little look at some of the post-launch plans that are in the works for the expansion.
The new gameplay video can be seen below. This video features clips from a recent dungeon walkthrough video from the latest "Letter from the Producer LIVE #52" that happened recently. This video shows off a variety of different dungeons included in Shadowbringers in addition to the first look at the Titania trial battle.
After the trailer, you can check out the current list of post-release content planned for Shadowbringers owners. For reference, the first two patches for Shadowbringers already have dates plotted out. Those dates are July 16, 2019 for Patch 5.0.1. The second patch is scheduled for July 30, 2019 for Patch 5.05. Combined, these patches will add in both normal difficulty and savage difficulty for the new Eden raid. They will also add the new treasure hunt dungeon, Lyhe Ghiahl, and the Allagan tomestone of Phantasmagoria currency. I don't know what that is, but you might.
