Square Enix has announced a release date of April 18, 2024, for its upcoming Final Fantasy 16 DLC, The Rising Tide.
The company revealed the date along with a glistening new trailer today, showing off a much better look at how the story content will expand upon Clive and Co.’s journey. It seems to be shaping up to add even more cinematic encounters to a game that is known for larger-than-life battles, but the trailer’s real highlight has to be the battle between Ifrit and Leviathan.
The Final Fantasy 16: The Rising Tide trailer features more details in its description, which you can read below.
“An unmarked letter arrives at the hideaway containing a request most curious: the Dominant of Leviathan, long lost Eikon of Water, is in need of rescue,” the synopsis says. “To heed this call, Clive and his companions must journey to Mysidia—a hidden land under a blue sky—where they will uncover the tragic history of a forgotten people.”
Final Fantasy 16 launched exclusively for PlayStation 5 last year. While The Rising Tide is set to add more content for players to enjoy, it isn’t Square Enix’s first expansion for the game. Players received the first DLC chapter, Echoes of the Fallen, back in December.
To help catch fans up to speed, Square Enix published additional information about The Rising Tide in a new PlayStation.Blog post. New additions include increased level caps of 60 for the Story and Action Focused Modes and 110 for Final Fantasy Mode. The DLC will also give Clive a set of new watery Eikon Abilities, while those looking for endgame content will find extra challenge and leaderboards to climb in a new addition called Kairos Gate.
The Rising Tide will be available to purchase separately or as part of the Final Fantasy 16 Expansion Pass for $24.99. Those who purchase either option will receive a “reimagined version” of the Curtana from Final Fantasy 14 as well as “Torn from the Heavens” and “Through the Maelstrom” Orchestrion Rolls for the hideaway.
