We’re a bit closer to knowing a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2 release date. During the Final Fantasy 7 25th Anniversary Celebration stream, the release window for the next part of FF7 Remake was announced alongside a trailer that also told us the subtitle for the game. So, FF7 Remake Part 2 is now officially Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth reveal gives us a release window for FF7 Remake Part 2
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will release in Winter 2023. That could be anywhere from December 2023 to March 2024. Yoshinori Kitase says it’ll release “approximately three years after the original Final Fantasy 7 Remake,” which came out on April 10, 2020. So, we’d guess Rebirth will launch closer to March than December.
While Final Fantasy 7 Remake stuck pretty close to the original until the end, things might go off the rails in Rebirth. The team knows they need to stop Sephiroth. However, they know that they did so in another timeline, and it wasn’t a permanent solution. That means Rebirth will likely deviate from the journey we saw in the original game. Unfortunately, the trailer didn’t give us much to go on regarding the setting or plot.
A big question many Final Fantasy 7 fans have is whether we’ll still get to visit the iconic locations throughout Gaia that we saw in the original. Of course, it would make sense for the game to start in Kalm, but with Crisis Core Reunion coming out, will the section where Cloud tells his version of what happened in Nibelheim be redundant? Will we still head through Junon and cross the ocean to Costa Del Sol? As of now, we just don’t know. Hopefully, we’ll learn more about FF7 Rebirth soon.
In other news, the FF7 Ever Crisis beta has been announced, and the Call of Duty: Warzone Season 4 roadmap has dropped.
