FFXIV’s Yoshi-P claims Dawntrail expansion was delayed for Elden Ring’s DLC

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.

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