Endwalker Pre-order Query.

[TopBadger]

It is my understanding that Endwalker comes with Shadowbringers. If I pre-order Endwalker can I play Shadowbringers before Endwalker releases.

Sorry, but no. From the store page:

This product also includes Stormblood and Shadowbringers expansion packs, which will only be provided when Endwalker is officially released.

So you'd have to wait until November.

That's really dumb.

Sorry, but it's just how it has always worked. They want people to continue buying the current expansion until the new one releases.

It's likely that Shadowbringers will go on sale within the next few months (and the complete edition that has up to Shadowbringers), because it usually does, but SE don't announce it before it happens, so it's anyones guess as to when that'll be.
