Square Enix President Discusses Final Fantasy VII Remake Coming to the Next Generation - News

Tweet

Square Enix president and CEO Yosuke Matsuda in an interview with GameInformer was asked if Final Fantasy VII Remake would be getting a release on the next generation.

"I believe that our teams have made it so that the game will support both the next generation and the current generation of consoles," said Matsuda. "I believe it is being developed so that it is going to be playable on both, so I'm not really concerned about that and I believe that the fans are also going to be able to enjoy it on both, including the next-generation of consoles."

Final Fantasy VII Remake will launch worldwide for PlayStation 4 on March 3, 2020.

"I believe it is being developed so that it is going to be playable on both" Yeah, the new consoles are both going to be Backwards Compatible so there's no need for a separate version. It will work on both.

Did he just kind of indirectly say that it WILL be coming to other consoles outside of PlayStation?

That's pretty much been known by the phrasing from day one. It was always promoted as a "play it first" title on PS4. If it was a full exclusive rather than a timed exclusive, Sony would have been promoting that hard.

We can be pretty sure of that, it always said it was on Playstation first. Given that most FF games are going multiplatform, I think this will be on Xbox and PC too.

An xbox one reserve has already been found at some retailers. So I would assume, yes

Episode 2 will be maybe released in 2023/2024. There won't be many games which will then still be ported to PS4...

I'll assume Ep2 will be next gen only though, just with save files carrying through.
