Fans were treated to a new trailer for Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth at Summer Games Fest 2023, as well as a release window: early 2024.
Iconic JRPG Final Fantasy VII was originally released in 1997 for Sony’s PlayStation. In total, remaking Final Fantasy VII will take three full games, of which this is the second. Amid the excitement around the remakes, Final Fantasy VII‘s prequel (Crisis Core) was remastered too, and it will be getting a mobile game (Ever Crisis), which also got a new trailer at Summer Games Fest.
The trailer for Rebirth provides our first extensive look at the gameplay we can look forward to when the remake releases. No specific date has been set yet, but ‘early 2024’ is better than nothing.
