Nintendo's console has just received some significant updates for its loyal fans. The long-awaited Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is set to land on the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 3, following an announcement made during this morning's Nintendo Direct livestream.
As part of a FF7 remake-a-palooza, the highly anticipated game marks the second installment in a series of remakes that saw the release of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade just six months ago. While fans who have been eagerly waiting for more content can now breathe a sigh of relief as they only had to wait four years since the last part was released.
Rebirth itself is a reimagining of the middle portion of the beloved PS1 classic, with some notable changes including new graphics and gameplay mechanics that ditch traditional turn-based mechanics in favor of real-time action. This fresh take offers players a distinct experience from the original JRPG they may have remembered.
A further testament to the Nintendo Switch 2's capabilities, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will be a full port of the PS5 game, showcasing its impressive visuals. And if that wasn't enough, the console's newest rival is also getting in on the action - Xbox Series X/S owners can expect the same release date as their counterpart.
As fans eagerly anticipate the final installment of this epic remake series, rumors point towards a 2027 release for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Part 3. While nothing has been officially confirmed by Square Enix or Nintendo, it's hard to deny the excitement surrounding these reimagined classics.
But what else is coming our way? Nintendo's console is set to receive another slew of high-profile titles, including a Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition that will arrive on February 24, an Indiana Jones and the Great Circle release scheduled for May 12, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered sometime later this year.
