Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Release Date
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth officially launches on February 29th, 2024. Mark your clock as well, because the game unlocks at 12 AM Eastern Time (9 PM Pacific Time, 5 PM GMT). This aligns with the typical midnight launch for PlayStation exclusives.
Platforms
Unlike the first Remake, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is currently exclusive to the PlayStation 5. However, fans can be hopeful for a future PC release, following a similar pattern to the first Remake. Square Enix hasn’t confirmed anything yet, but keep an eye out for future announcements!
How to Preload
Preload for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth begins on February 27th. Pre-order any edition of the game on the PlayStation Store to secure your early access. No more waiting at launch, just jump straight into the action.
Download Size
Be warned, the adventure comes with a hefty price tag…in storage space. The pre-load download for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth clocks in at a whopping 145.250 GB, according to the reliable PlayStationSize. Make sure you have enough space on your PS5 before starting the download!
A Story Reborn
Rebirth picks up where Remake left off, hurtling Cloud and his crew beyond Midgar in pursuit of Sephiroth and the elusive Black Materia. While familiar beats from the original will echo, prepare for surprises. New areas like Kalm blossom with backstory, Zack Fair’s shocking survival throws wrenches in fate, and even iconic flashbacks like Nibelheim might hold unexpected twists.
Director Nomura assures us, though, that the emotional core and epic finale in the Forgotten Capital remain, promising a satisfying blend of nostalgia and fresh thrills.
Reimagined Gameplay
Rebirth takes the winning formula of Remake’s combat and injects it with some serious adrenaline. Hold onto your Buster Sword, because the Synergized system from the Intergrade DLC lets you unleash synchronized attacks with your party, doubling the pain for your enemies. And the world opens up like never before. Ditch the cramped corridors of Midgar and explore vast, sprawling landscapes on foot, chocobo, or even behind the wheel of a trusty vehicle. Each area is a meticulously crafted treasure trove of detail, ready to be explored and devoured.
As for Xbox hopefuls, whispers of a green-hued future remain tantalizingly unconfirmed, but hey, stranger things have happened in the world of Final Fantasy.
So, get ready to strap on your materia, polish your Buster Sword, and prepare for a reunion that will rewrite the very fabric of destiny. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is on the horizon, and it’s about to blow your mind.
