Patch 5.5: Death Unto Dawn has arrived, which begins to bring our story to an end as we start to build up to the upcoming expansion Endwalker! 5.5 includes the first of two parts of the main story quest, which promises to be exciting.
In addition to the new main story quests, this patch is packed with other new content for us all to enjoy. Including the third and final YoRHa Nier Raid, a brand new dungeon, a new weapon trial, new unreal trial, and heaps of other new side content too!
