It was discovered in December on the box art for Final Fantasy VII Remake the game will be a PlayStation 4 timed exclusive until March 3, 2021.

The game was recently delayed from March 3 to April 10 and now the box art has been updated to reflect the delay. The game will now be a PlayStation 4 timed exclusive until April 10, 2021.

Final Fantasy VII Remake will launch for the PlayStation 4 on April 10.

View the updated box art below:

Here is an overview of the game:

Rebuilding and expanding upon the legendary RPG for today, Final Fantasy VII Remake tells the story of a world fallen under the control of the Shinra Electric Power Company, a shadowy corporation controlling the planet’s very life force as mako energy. In the sprawling city of Midgar, an anti-Shinra organization calling themselves Avalanche have stepped up their resistance. Cloud Strife, a former member of Shinra’s elite SOLDIER unit now turned mercenary, lends his aid to the group, unaware of the epic adventures that await him.

Thanks Siliconera.

See the wording on the box art suggest (to me personally) that it's only gonna have a PC port. I don't think it's going anywhere else but PlayStation and PC for the long haul.

Moneyhatting 3rd patties is wrong, unless Sony does it then it’s ok. Sometimes I think the internet has a double standard ;)

I hope they use the British date format for the boxart in the UK. Otherwise it'll read as though it's exclusive until October 2021.

So... are we assuming that it's a Sony timed exclusive so it will appear as a launch PS5 title or...?

If PS5 is Backward Compatible like people think... it's a null situation anyway and you know Sony will use it to advertise PS5's BC.

These timed exclusivity deals are quite anti-consumer, but unfortunately it seems they are profitable.

It's also anti-whatever company is making the game. Because i any game was going to be multiplatform anyway, taking money to keep it away from a fanbase really stains the company's name.

I'm not sure about that since the company chooses to take the exclusivity deal, so they deserve any potential backlash. Essentially they are profiting from keeping the game away from a portion of the players.

Yeah... too bad that timed exclusivity is paying for the actual project. It's a simple market reality. I am simply glad that we are getting the game.

Paying for the project equals exclusivity. This is paying to keep the game away from other fanbases.

To me money hating this game for a year since really silly as it’s not gonna be a system seller for the Xbox anyways. Such a shame I gotta wait a year to play it but Oo well at least by then the second episode might be out

Maybe because Microsoft knows they wouldn’t make any money on paying for an exclusive like this for a year so it would be a complete waste of money.
2,they might do but hay I have hope they don’t as the hype would be over by then

Sony got to Square first. Sometimes these talks are done years in advanced.
