During a panel at PAX East, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida finally announced the release date of the Heavensward expansion for Square Enix's MMORPG.

We'll finally be able to explore Ishgard on June 23rd. Early Access will come on June 19th.

Heavensward will be released with a Collector's Edition, a Standard Edition and a All-in-One bundle with the game and the expansion together.

Official pre-orders will start on March 16th, and a benchmark software will be released next month, including the character creation for the new race, the Au Ra.

On top of that, a Mac version has also been announced and it will be released at the same time as Heavensward.
