Final Fantasy VII Rebirth lands on PlayStation 5 in early 2024, first full trailer shown
The ongoing 2023 Summer Game Fest hosted the most substantial look yet at Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the sequel to Final Fantasy VII Remake. The game is set to arrive in early 2024 for the PlayStation 5. The game will have two discs, a first for a PS5 game.
Check out the trailer below. Be advised: The scenes shown can be considered potential spoilers for developments in Final Fantasy VII Remake.
The trailer shows off scenes from Rebirth's interpretation of the events of Final Fantasy VII. The party of Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Barret, and the now-playable Red XIII has left Midgar, with combat occurring on the open fields and wilderness outside the city. Yuffie is also confirmed to be part of the playable cast (she last appeared as a solo character in the "Episode Intermission" DLC story for FFVII Remake Intergrade). Locations like Cosmo Canyon, the Chocobo Ranch, and what looks to be Junon are seen in cutscenes and exploration, as well as Nibelheim in flashback.
In remarks delivered via a press release, Producer Yoshinori Kitase said:
“We’re honored to bring FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH to players around the world early next year. In the next installment of this thrilling tale, Cloud and his friends—both new and returning—will embark on a new adventure, so all players can enjoy this story, even those without any familiarity with the previous title or the original FINAL FANTASY VII. The entire team has worked fervently with love and adoration for the world of FINAL FANTASY VII to deliver an unforgettable experience for new adventurers and longtime fans alike, reaching new heights of cinematic storytelling, immersive and fast-paced combat, and rich exploration across a vast world. We can’t wait to share more details later this year.”
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is in development and will release in early 2024 for the PS5. Final Fantasy VII Remake is available on PS4, while its updated version, Remake Intergrade is available on PS5 and PC.
