While there have allegedly been “whispers” of Spyro 4 from private talks with industry folk over the past few months, recent details at PAX East matched up with the same. A Windows Central article reported an agreement between Xbox and Toys for Bob for their first title, which would “be similar to games” the latter has “made in the past.”

Canadian Guy Eh allegedly heard this before the article went live, with one individual at PAX East claiming it’s been in active development since last January. Of course, it always seemed a given that Spyro 4 would happen – Toys for Bob somewhat teased it in an art book for Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time about four years ago. Take things with a grain of salt, as usual, but if true, an announcement could be a ways off. Stay tuned in the meantime.

The quest sees elements of the PS5 action RPG (also coming to PC) bleeding into the acclaimed MMORPG. “The Path Infernal” is the new quest and sees players meeting Clive Rosfield and eventually tackling Ifrit in a new boss fight. To even the odds, Eikonic Skills like Rising Phoenix can be used.

Rewards for completing the collaboration quest include Clive’s second outfit, a mount resembling his faithful hound, Torgal, and a minion resembling the latter’s pup form. Stay tuned for more details en route to the quest.

Final Fantasy 14 players can also look forward to the launch of Dawntrail on July 2nd. Pre-orders can access the expansion on June 28th, while Collector’s Edition owners will receive items based on Final Fantasy 9. Final Fantasy 16 will receive its next paid DLC, The Rising Tide, which launches on April 18th. Check out the latest gameplay here.

These include the Ark, a new mount based on the famous Eidolon; a Wind-Up Garnet Minion; and the Chocobo Brush for Pictomancers. Check out the trailer below to see the Ark in action. There are digital and physical Collector’s Editions, with the former including the game and in-game bonus items for $59.99. The latter consists of the Collector’s Edition for $214.99, which includes the Digital Collector’s Edition and Collector’s Box for PC.

PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S players who want the physical items should pick up the Collector’s Box separately. It costs $155 and includes box art by Yoshitaka Amano, a high-quality figure of the Warrior of Light as the new Viper Job, an Adventurer’s Cloth Map with all the new locations, The Unending Journey notebook and an Adventurer’s Pen Case.

Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail launches on July 2nd, with pre-orders starting on March 26th. Pre-orders also net some goodies, including three days of early access.

Pre-orders begin on March 26th, with other bonuses like a Wind-Up Zidane Minion accompanying you while traveling. You also get Azeyma’s Earrings, which provide a 30 percent EXP gain on defeating enemies. The effect applies at levels 1 to 90 and can only be equipped by Disciples of War or Magic.

It’s also worth noting that to take advantage of early access, players must complete certain quests in Endwalker, the last major expansion. Stay tuned for more details on the exact quests in the coming months.

Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail sees players venturing to a new continent, with new Pictomancer and Beastmaster Jobs, Female Hrothgar, dungeons, raids and more to experience. Check out the full trailer to see it in action.

Yoshida and Fox didn’t provide a release date, but they did promise a panel with the director/producer of the acclaimed MMORPG on March 23rd at PAX East 2024. The joke, of course, is that the latter is also Yoshida, so expect more details on the collaboration soon.

Thus far, it’s confirmed that the quest, “The Path Infernal,” sees Final Fantasy 14 players working with Clive Rosfield. A boss battle with Ifrit is also teased, with players utilizing skills like Rising Phoenix. Some rewards include Clive’s mid-game outfit, a Torgal mount and even a minion based on his pup form.

Quick Complete will allow for warping back to a quest giver once the objective is complete, cutting down on the time needed to return. Icons for a quest involving collectibles for Clive’s Wall of Memories are also changed, allowing you to identify them better. Perhaps the best new feature is Skill Set, letting you save up to five sets of Abilities and Feats to switch to out of combat.

Abilities and Accessories are also getting some adjustments (thankfully, no nerfs), alongside new options for customizing button layouts. Photo Mode is also receiving new features like Tone Effects, Screen Effects and more, and those who love collecting Orchestrion Rolls can look forward to 40 more, including some from Eikon battles.

Patch notes for Ver.1.30 will be revealed later, so stay tuned. Final Fantasy 16: The Rising Tide launches on April 18th for PS5. Check out some of the new abilities that Clive will receive and the new locations that you’ll be exploring. The expansion also adds a new endgame survival mode called Kairos Gate – head here for more details.
