The highly anticipated release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth can’t come soon enough. While Final Fantasy 16 has gone some way to satiate fans, there’s simply no beating the Final Fantasy VII saga for many. So in order to help you prepare, Chit Hot has compiled everything we know so far about Final Fantasy VII Rebirth‘s release plans.
Continuing the Story
This new title is part of the continuing saga retelling the story of the original Final Fantasy VII. It picks up with iconic heroes Cloud, Barret, Tifa, Aerith and Red XIII after they escape from Midgar. Together, they 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. Check out these Final Fantasy VII Rebirth screenshots to see for yourself!
Is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth a Sequel?
Yes, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the sequel to Final Fantasy VII Remake. However, as stated above, developer Square Enix is pitching the game as a ‘standalone adventure’. It’s not yet known how they plan on bringing new players up to speed with the story so far.
Is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Coming to PS4 or PC?
Unlike the previous title, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is not coming to PlayStation 4 (PS4). Nor, at present, is it announced for PC. The game is currently only confirmed for release on PlayStation 5.
Why is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on 2 Discs?
Despite the capacity of PlayStation 5 discs being larger than ever, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will launch on a 2-disc package.
The PlayStation 5 uses Ultra-HD Blu-ray as the disc medium. These game discs can hold up to 100 GB of data, in contrast to PlayStation 4 games which usually came on dual-layer standard Blu-ray discs capable of holding up to 50 GB. There is no explanation as to specifically why the game will require 2 discs at this time.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Release Date
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is scheduled for release in early 2024, exclusively on PlayStation 5. The game has not yet received a specific release date. However, more information is likely to be revealed before the end of 2023.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Pre-Order
Despite there not being an official release date for the game at present, many retailers have already listed it for pre-order. The Final Fantasy VII Rebirth pre-order on PlayAsia offers the game for pre-order with no price or release date information.
