Square Enix has announced the dates and locations for the next series of Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festivals set to take place in 2018/19.

The festivities will begin with the North America Fan Fest in November 2018 at the Rio Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas. The three-day event will run from November 15-17, with an early registration period beginning on Thursday before the event kicks off proper.

The European Fan Festival will take place a few months later in Early 2019 in Paris. No specific dates have been confirmed yet (though we’d guess late-Jan/early Feb) and the event will run for two days.

The last stop in March 2019 will take the Fan Festival to Tokyo, Japan. The final of the three events will take place between March 23-24 at the Makuhari Messe Hall 4-6.

Given that we’re almost a year out from the first event, very little is known about what to expect from each show. The previous run included announcements surrounding the MMO’s latest expansion, Stormblood, plus a host of hands-on opportunities, meet-and-greets and carnival games.

Meanwhile, in Final Fantasy XIV proper, Patch 4.2: Rise of a New Sun has just been announced. It’ll bring new Main Scenario quests, plus new dungeons, a new raid wing and open-world content in the Forbidden Land of Eureka.
