Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers, the third expansion to Square's popular MMO, is coming this summer, but the line officially forms today to purchase a copy. Shadowbringers is now offered in both regular and Collector's edition flavors; the latter containing countless feelies including an art book, a deck of playing cards and a Dark Knight figure.
But what about the REAL reason to pre-order this expansion: potential early access to Shadowbringers itself? Square confirmed yes, that will be a thing. All those who pre-order before June 28 will get to play the expansion early, on that date.
Square's press release contains more details.
