Endwalker release and maintenance time

The Final Fantasy XIV servers are set to go down starting on December 2 at 12 AM PT. As a result, everyone will be barred from logging into the game as the developers make the Endwalker update ready for everyone.

The servers will return on December 3 at 2 AM PT, well over 24 hours after they go down. However, the time is subject to change for all players, and the update could take a few additional hours past 1 AM PT. The companion application for Final Fantasy XIV will also be partially unavailable, and this is normal.

When the update is finished, all players will have to update their Final Fantasy XIV launcher and download the 6.0 update.

Endwalker adds a massive amount of content to Final Fantasy XIV and wraps up the main storyline that has been ongoing since A Realm Reborn, which launched in August 2013. It also adds two new classes, the melee DPS Reaper and the ranged healer, Sage.
