Overview
- Over the Berlin Fan Fest weekend, composer Masayoshi Soken played two short audio snippets that fans say included a clicking/cocking sound and bird screeches, prompting heavy online discussion.
- Square Enix has confirmed the second Evercold job will be original to the series and classified it as a physical ranged DPS, but the company has not named the job yet.
- Players on Reddit and in coverage by GamesRadar, Polygon and PC Gamer have converged on a Falconer or bird‑focused DPS as the likeliest identity because the expansion trailer shows a large armored bird and a character wearing falconry‑style gloves.
- Community theorycrafting links the audio cues and props to possible mechanics such as a controllable bird companion or a crossbow‑style weapon, but these gameplay ideas remain speculative until the official reveal.
- The reveal at Fan Fest Tokyo on Oct. 31–Nov. 1 will resolve the guesswork; the job will join Bastion as Evercold additions ahead of the expansion’s January 2027 launch and could affect weapon crafting and role balance in endgame content.
