FFXIV Patch Schedule for 7.18 and 7.2 Revealed

The Final Fantasy XIV Letter from the Producer Live LXXXV showcase debuted on February 7, 2025, and Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida and Global Community Producer Toshio “Foxclon” Murouchi used the FFXIV presentation to go over the patch schedule and updates for 7.18 and 7.2. 7.18 will launch later this month on February 25, 2025. 7.2 will follow in “late March 2025.”

The majority of the presentation went over things we can expect from the 7.2 update. There will be Main Scenario Quests added, and Mamool Ja Allied Society Quests will show up. Inconceivably Further Hildibrand Adventures continue. A new Underkeep dungeon, Recollection Normal and Extreme Trial, Hells’ Kier Unreal Trial, Occult Crescent Field Operation, and Cornservant Side Quest will debut. Allagan Tomestones of Mathematics will debut. So will a new PvP series. We’ll also face a new Arcadion Raid challenge. The Cruiserweight Tier Normal and Savage will show up in the 7.2 series. Finally, one of the major additions will be a new experience sort of similar to Island Sanctuary that is called Cosmic Exploration.
