Square Enix has announced a collaboration with Neon Genesis Evangelion as part of Final Fantasy 14's next expansion, Evercold. One of the highest-profile crossovers in the MMORPG's 13-year-old history will arrive in the form of a dedicated Final Fantasy 14 raid.
The announcement was made during the opening keynote of the 2026 Final Fantasy 14 Fan Festival, held on April 24 in Anaheim, California. Producer and director Naoki "Yoshi-P" Yoshida, who leads development at Square Enix’s Creative Business Unit 3, mentioned the Neon Genesis Evangelion collaboration midway through the keynote, after revealing the encompassing Final Fantasy 14: Evercold expansion.
Square Enix confirms that its critically acclaimed MMORPG, Final Fantasy 14, is headed to Nintendo Switch 2 in the near future.
Titled Evangelion: Ghosts of Desire, the crossover will take the form of a multipart alliance raid series. The 24-player format has previously been used for similar licensed collaborations in the hit MMORPG, including Final Fantasy 14's NieR: Automata crossover, which launched as part of the Shadowbringers expansion in 2019. Square Enix is developing the new content in partnership with Khara Inc., the Tokyo-based animation studio that owns the Evangelion IP.
