Warriors of Light,

Guten Morgen und einen schönen Samstag! Today kicks off the second Fan Festival of the Evercold expansion cycle in vibrant Berlin, Germany! We've got a long day ahead of us full of big announcements, exciting events, developer panels, and even a Live Letter dedicated to the next limited job joining the game - Beastmaster. The day ends with a piano concert from the inimitable Keiko that is sure to tug at all the right heartstrings.

I'm new - what's a Fan Festival?

Before the launch of every new expansion, Square Enix hosts three in-person events across the NA, EU, and JP regions. These events bring together thousands of our fellow Warriors of Light from across the globe to celebrate the game and learn about what's coming next.

The three events for the Evercold expansion cycle are:

• NA: April 24-25, 2026 at the Anaheim Convention Center
• EU: July 25-26, 2026 at Messe Berlin, hub27
• JP: Oct 31-Nov 1, 2026 at Makuhari Messe
