A team that creates & produces event experiences within Final Fantasy XIV
Events launched
You, Me, & All of Us in 2026
We hope that your year has started pleasantly. Whilst we've certainly enjoyed our break, we're once again back to form with even more creative spirit.
After many successful, community-driven events last year, we wish to announce some changes to PHOENIX, which affect our portfolio of projects: Phoenix Nights, Love Island, and ZONE.
One of our primary learnings from 2025 was that both we and the community most enjoyed the special events: curated experiences with stories behind them that made each one unique and memorable. Organizing these events takes a lot of time, effort, and logistics. As a result, we've decided to move away from our usual bi-weekly event schedule and instead look to launch one event per month. This change will allow us to pour all of our love and attention into the making of each event, their quality, and just that extra bit of fun.
I hope you take the time to read everything we have to say. Sit back, grab a coffee, and let's have a conversation!
A quick overview of what's coming from us this year.
We announced last year our move to dissolve our North American division, Phoenix Nights X.
As our team is primarily Europe based, we were not able to deliver the love and attention that our NA division deserved. Whilst we often dive into new areas, we do not always hit the mark. We found our position in the EU datacentres strengthened our values, and we want to maintain a beautiful presence there.
Early this year, we also made the decision to dissolve our Entertainers department, which undoubtedly gave Phoenix Nights a connection towards the more intimate side of the game. Unfortunately, as we moved towards building larger events, we struggled to maintain our focus and meet the standards we'd set for ourselves. However, do not worry: each member of the team was given continued involvement in our event & marketing areas.
We will continue to be a key player in providing Casino services to the community in EU — our ever-growing commitment to providing dealers for venues. We are happy to announce that we're open to new partnerships, expanding our services this year. Ranging from Blackjack to Bingo, simply get in touch on our Discord!
We will continue to give the same love and care you've come to know and appreciate from us over at PHOENIX and across all of our projects. Our philosophy has always been to create, inspire, and connect.
This year, our key core focus will be maintaining and producing large scale events that bring many collaborators across the community together. We believe that our direction is best when we're working alongside artists and creators. Throughout this year, you can expect our events to highlight incredible talents throughout the scene whilst keeping an exceptional thought on making something memorable.
You may have noticed that we are adapting our full event experience exclusively on website. Whilst we still use major platforms to bring attention, we felt our creativity is best expressed on a canvas which we have full control over, keeping accessibility in mind. This allows you to enjoy the details on your desktop, your tablet, and even your phone.
We don't design events for specific individuals, we want to launch something that everyone can take part in.
See you soon
I hope you are as excited as I am. There's plenty more surprises throughout the year we can't talk about right now.
If you're interested in being part of any of these events, just let us know — don't be shy!
Catch you later!
— END OF OPEN LETTER —
