As part of the Summer Game Fest, Square Enix revealed a new gameplay trailer for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. This is the second title in Square's efforts to remake and retell the original Final Fantasy 7.
This latest trailer gives you a small look at several different areas of the game. We get a look at some story beats, combat, and even some of the world that you will get to explore.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is expected to be released in early 2024 for the PlayStation 5. Square Enix notes that the physical release will ship on two Blu-ray discs. Each Blu-ray is capable of holding up to 100GB of (likely compressed) data. Rebirth is going to take up a lot of storage space.
FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH is the second entry in the FINAL FANTASY VII remake project, which retells the story of the iconic fantasy game that redefined the RPG genre in three distinct games. FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH picks up with iconic heroes Cloud, Barret, Tifa, Aerith and Red XIII after they escape from the dystopian city Midgar and sees them embark on a journey in pursuit of Sephiroth, the vengeful swordsman from Cloud’s past who was thought to be dead. In this standalone adventure, players will explore an expansive world, all brought to life with a new level of graphical fidelity, developed specifically to leverage the power of the PS5 console. As players unravel a gripping narrative rich with mysteries to uncover, they will also witness the personal journey of each party member and strengthen their bonds to work together and face off against powerful enemies.​
Square Enix also announced a new Final Fantasy 7 title for iOS and Android devices. It's called Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis.
FINAL FANTASY VII EVER CRISIS is a chapter-structured RPG experience that will cover key elements of the FINAL FANTASY VII timeline, including the events of the original game, plus new story elements penned by FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE story and scenario writer Kazushige Nojima surrounding a young hero, Sephiroth.
