Square Enix Announces The Latest FFXIV Expansion ‘Endwalker’ & PS5 Open Beta This April

Final Fantasy XIV has become one of the best MMORPGs and one of the best Final Fantasy games to ever be produced.

Now, Square Enix is preparing to conclude their longest-running storyline this fall with the latest expansion, Endwalker.
