Final Fantasy XIV Online upcoming 6.1 update titled 'Newfound Adventure' detailed

In the latest live letter broadcast from the producer of MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV Online, Square Enix detailed the next big patch planned for mid-April. 

For those not caught up with the latest expansion called Endwalker, take note that the end of that expansion concludes the overall story between Zodiark and Hydaelyn which started at the beginning of the main story. The 6.1 update begins a new adventure for the Warriors of Light, a new storyline as Square Enix plans to support this game in the next 10 years. 

Besides the start of a new main story, the 6.1 patch comes with a new Dungeon, Trial, an Unreal Trial, the first part of  Endwalker’s Alliance Raid, and more.
