Which Final Fantasy XIV expansion was released after Stormblood?

The story behind the answer

The Final Fantasy XIV expansion released after Stormblood is Shadowbringers. It launched on July 2, 2019, following Stormblood’s 2017 release.

Shadowbringers sends the player character to the First, a parallel world threatened by an overwhelming flood of light. The expansion’s story introduces major revelations about the relationship between the First and the Source, while developing the long-running conflict surrounding Hydaelyn, Zodiark, and the Ascians.

The expansion raised the level cap from 70 to 80, added the Dancer and Gunbreaker jobs, and introduced the Viera and Hrothgar playable races. It also debuted the Trust system, allowing players to enter several dungeons alongside story characters instead of other players.

The neighboring expansions are easy to confuse: Heavensward came before Stormblood, while Endwalker followed Shadowbringers. Dawntrail came later still, beginning another major chapter in the game’s ongoing story.
