Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was the perfect end to Summer Game Fest with a substantial trailer after a week of teases. The engaging footage showed off a handful of high-octane battles, exciting story moments, and a more precise release date window. Producer Yoshinori Kitase disclosed that the team had spent an enormous amount of time and effort to make the most of the high-powered capability of the PS5 console. He also added that although the players can experience the new adventure without any knowledge of the previous title or the original Final Fantasy 7, returning players and longtime fans will see glimpses of pivotal story moments in the new trailer.
The Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Release Date
The release of the game is coming in early 2024 on PlayStation 5, and the physical version of the game will be on two discs, according to game developer Square Enix’s announcement. This release window coincided with earlier statements by the developer that it would come out in “next winter” as of June 2022.
The Trailer
The trailer featured a wide range of characters, including Cloud, Tifa, Red XIII, Barret, Sephiroth, Yuffie, and Aerith. With a fair amount of gameplay, some cutscenes, and exploration in a vast world, it appears to be a substantial vertical slice of the game.
Words From the Producer
Producer Yoshinori Kitase teased that they are going the extra mile to make this game worthwhile, offering elements such as cinematic storytelling, immersive combat, and rich exploration. Additionally, he revealed that more information would be disclosed later in 2023 and encouraged players to watch the trailer closely for unique glimpses of pivotal story moments.
