Up until now, Final Fantasy 14 players have gone without knowing exactly when the title would officially release on the PlayStation 4, but Square Enix announced April 2014 is when the MMO will be made available on Sony’s next-generation video game console.
Square Enix made the announcement during the PlayStation Awards, which the company received a “Special Award,” according to the publisher.
