It seems not even game developers can escape the avalanche of game release overlaps that have already plagued 2024.

During a panel at Pax East, FFXIV developer Naoki Yoshida, commonly known as Yoshi-P, revealed that the Dawntrail expansion’s early access period would begin on June 28, 2024, and fully release on July 2.

While this date may not seem too significant, Yoshi-P explained the date explicitly falls after the release of Elden Ring’s hotly anticipated Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.

“We figured everybody would be interested in the Elden Ring DLC,” Yoshi-P said during the panel. “I’ll give you one week!”

But why? Two completely different types of games

Sooo, he delayed it because he wanted to play the DLC for ER? Seems like a lack of priorities.

Respect.

 

[Barakov]

Can't blame him.

 

[LectureMaster]

It's always wholesome to see devs excited about gaming just like a normal player.

 

[Celcius]

Sounds like several games have adjusted their dates to avoid the elden ring dlc launch

 

[Fake]

Good call, unlike those Horizon Forbidden West dumbasses releasing their game after and after big ones.

Smart to avoid going against ER

 

[MagnesD3]

Good move fellow tarnished

Elden Ring DLC to keep you company when the FFXIV servers are on fire when the expansion launches.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

She has good reason to avoid the DLC to the game

 

[IAmRei]
