Final Fantasy 14 patch 7.3 release date – when you can try its new PvP changes and trials
Final Fantasy 14 is still going strong, and its latest patch – the Promise of Tomorrow – is set to add a host of new features to its already bulging roster Final Fantasy 14 is set to receive new PvP changes, trials and dungeons in its latest patch, promising to give players even more reasons to invest countless hours into the game. You might be mistaken for thinking that Final Fantasy 14 had reached its peak, but it's still very much evolving. While the game's Seekers of Eternity patch provided players with plenty to delve into, we're now being served even more in patch 7.3, better known to fans as the Promise of Tomorrow update. A new Alliance Raid is on the horizon to keep players united against a new shared enemy, along with fresh main scenario quests and trials to give fans who need some solitude the opportunity to improve themselves with as many players as they wish. The update introduces the next PvP Series 9 issuing new adjustments that pave the way for new ranked tiers and a new Crystalline Conflict Arena. There's no doubt that players have been given plenty to immerse themselves in, and with so much still to come from future updates offering a new Deep Dungeon and a host of Weapon Enchantment quests, you're not about to run out of things to do. Final Fantasy 14 Online fans are incredibly dedicated to its MMO stylings, so these new features are bound to be well received – and even if they aren't, it certainly isn't as though players are immediately going to abandon ship. So, when exactly can we expect the new update? Here's what you need to know about the Final Fantasy 14 patch 7.3 release date. Final Fantasy 14 patch 7.3 release date The Final Fantasy 14 patch 7.3 release date is slated for Tuesday, August 5 at 3am PDT / 6am EDT / 11am BST. This date has been revealed directly by Square Enix, and the release time here is an estimation based on the official launch times of the game's last two updates for patch 7.2 and patch 7.1. The game is stacked up enough, but this extra content is going to do wonders with players who have been looking for an excuse to get stuck in all over again. It's a good chance as any, to be fair.

Warborne Above Ashes playtest start time – when you can play the MMO and earn exclusive rewards
More MMO action is on its way as Warborne Above Ashes prepares to launch into yet another playtest that you can be a part of. Warborne Above Ashes is bringing a packed sci-fi world to the MMO genre with another playtest, and though the Warborne Above Ashes playtest start times are stunted across launch day, we still won't have long to wait before we can get stuck in. MMO games have a habit of folding back to the Fantasy genre, and while we won't pretend not to love it, we could do with something a little fresher. We love the likes of Final Fantasy 14 and The Elder Scrolls Online (though our Tamriel adventures will be elsewhere now that Oblivion Remastered has been revealed), but there's no denying that getting lost in so many fantasy worlds at once leads to a little bit of mental crossover, making many worlds simply dissolve into each other. Enter, Warborne Above Ashes, a new MMO set to chart new courses across Sci-Fi worlds and drop you into some brutal battles that put you on a full map stuffed with battlefields and total warfare. After a successful playtest in March, the game is prepared to enter yet another period of chaos with six unique factions, a stacked arsenal full of different playstyles to capitalise on and allow players to experience, customise and get used to. All of this is to say that a new playtest is on its way to give players a new chance to try out the action that lies in wait in the sci-fi MMO, and the Warborne Above Ashes playtest start time is thankfully not far away. So, what can we expect from the incoming playtest? Here's what you need to know about the Warborne Above Ashes playtest start time. Warborne Above Ashes playtest start time The Warborne Above Ashes playtest start time will be 7pm PDT / 10pm EDT on Wednesday, April 23, and 3am BST on Thursday, April 24, when it goes live on PC via Steam.
