Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will release on PS5 on February 29, 2024.
This morning’s PlayStation State of Play was cooking along nicely, with a few release date reveals and a sprinkling of announcements, all for the final (heh) portion of the showcase to blow the digital roof off the place. The State of Play ended with a three-minute trailer for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the sequel to the beloved Final Fantasy VII Remake, that decided to ignore the other volume options and turn it right up to 11.
Not only did we get confirmation of a February 29 release date, but this new trailer showed off the scope and scale of the sequel, as it says goodbye to Midgar and hello to the rest of the planet. Even though I’m not an FF fan, I could recognise fan favourites like Vincent Valentine and the Golden Saucer, so lord knows that mega fans will be absolutely frothing at this new footage.

The last thing I would want to do is get your hopes up only for them to be crushed, but a collector’s edition has been announced that will make any Final Fantasy stan blush. Please please keep in mind that this is only available through the Square Enix store currently, and there’s been no Australian release confirmation whatsoever, but hot damn, take a look at what it contains.
