Read details on the game below:
The second game of the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy.
After escaping Midgar, the City of Mako, Cloud and his comrades shatter the barriers of fate and embark on a new journey into the wide world beyond.
A brand-new adventure awaits as a vast, multifaceted world unfolds before you. Gallop across grassy plains on the back of a chocobo as you explore the world before you.
Story
The lifestream represents the very cycle of life and death, where all life emerges from the planet and returns to its embrace. However, the Shinra Electric Power Company ruthlessly drains the planet of its very essence, the lifestream, and processes it for industry as "mako."
After overcoming countless fierce battles in the mako-powered metropolis of Midgar, ex-SOLDIER Cloud Strife and his companions step out into the wider world. Riding across grassy plains atop chocobos, they embark on an uncertain path, beginning their fated journey across the planet.
At the same time, SOLDIER First Class Zack Fair walks through the wastelands outside of Midgar. Wounded and weary, he drags his battered body forward while supporting his dear friend Cloud, who is delirious from mako poisoning. Beyond the veil of death, an ominous rift tears the heavens above.
Meanwhile, the Wutai interim government leads the Shinra Resistance Committee in a declaration of war.
In a grim procession, mysterious black-robed figures carry the remains of Jenova, the alien entity infamously known as the cataclysm from the stars and the catalyst of our plight.
Sensing the threat to the Planet itself, the fearsome guardians known as Weapons, awaken and rise from the lifestream.
Through the machinations of Cloud’s sworn enemy Sephiroth, the strands of destiny intertwine and are reborn again.

switch 2 version for me
And Pre ordered!
Wow, that’s much sooner than I thought.
Haters to lovers, yeah?
oh wow, thisa is really sooner than expected. Amazing.
rumor has it part 3 is day one on all platforms
And it’ll be out very soon… (look up @nhamaguc on X). Shouldn’t come as a surprise that these multiplat releases will tie into the marketing of FFVII Remake Part III.
I'm starting to think FF7 part 3 is closer than everyone expects...
Releasing FF7 part 1 and 2 within just 5ish months of one another is crazy
The game's director said they'll be revealing much more information about the series this year. So I'm guessing Part 3 gets announced with a 2027 release window, and increasingly likely it'll be on all platforms day one.
Yup, I've always thought 2027 but I had assumed mid-late year... now I'm thinking Q1
Remake was April, Rebirth was February
I feel like this is going to be January- February
This will be the true test of the Switch 2.
Are they doing a physical version this time or still digital only?
I'm expecting everyone to buy a brand new copy.
Good lord, I can't wait to see how it fairs on Switch 2. Obviously it will not perform as good as a PS5, but there is a huge chance that the Switch 2 mode may look better than PS5 performance if they replace the atrocious built in TAA with DLSS.
