The latter was the only way to access the macOS version of the game, which premiered on the same day as the expansion pack's launch. The expansion pack was released as a standalone product for current players, as well as an 'all-in-one' bundle containing A Realm Reborn and Heavensward. Naoki Yoshida served as director and producer and Nobuo Uematsu, who had not worked on the title since the ill-fated 2010 launch of the original Final Fantasy XIV, returned to collaborate with Masayoshi Soken on the soundtrack. It was released on June 23, 2015, nearly two years after the debut of A Realm Reborn. Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward is the first expansion pack to Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed and published by Square Enix for Microsoft Windows, Apple's macOS, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4.
