More Deep Dungeons are on the way to Final Fantasy 14.
Producer/director Naoki Yoshida confirmed the news at this weekend's Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival, which is taking place in Korea.
After reporting that so "many people around the world wanted more deep dungeons", Yoshida confirmed that the roguelite missions will be making a return with patch content 6.x. Though he stopped short of confirming precise release dates, we know that the first 6.0 patch is expected to release in the next month or so, so hopefully dungeon fans won't have to wait too long before they can plunge the depths once more.

"Just over a month from Endwalker's launch, Final Fantasy 14 has arguably never been in better shape than it has been right now," he wrote. "It might take you potentially hours to get into the MMORPG in the first place – hell, you can't even get into the game at all right now if you're a brand new prospective player – but what awaits you after is a vast and welcoming player base, Dungeons with hordes of players chomping at the bit to squad up, an enthralling new storyline and subsequent lands to explore, and so much more.
"Whether you're a new player or returning to Eorzea after a little break, there really isn't a better time to experience Final Fantasy 14 for yourself."
