In Heavensward, The Warriors of Light journey to Ishgard ─ a city-state mired in a thousand-year conflict with the dragons of the Dravanian Horde. Can our heroes uncover the ancient truths buried in Ishgard’s bloody history and help bring an end to the Dragonsong War? Can the Warriors of Light cast off the shadows that darken the realm?
 
As an additional bonus, anyone choosing to take advantage of the offer will gain access to all content additions and main scenario updates from the Heavensward patch cycle, including an array of dungeons, trials, side-quests and more: 3.1 – As Goes Light So Goes Darkness, 3.2 – The Gears of Change, 3.3 – Revenge of the Horde, 3.4 – Soul Surrender and 3.5 – The Far Edge of Fate.

Players can take this opportunity to catch up as everyone awaits for the release of Final Fantasy XIV’s third expansion, Shadowbringers, which launches this July.
