The final game trailer that was shown at Summer Games Fest was a huge one for fans of Square Enix"s Final Fantasy series. We got to see the first footage of Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth. It"s the second game in a planned trilogy of games that will rework the storylines of the original Final Fantasy VII RPG.
The first game in this trilogy, Final Fantasy VIII Remake, launched on the PlayStation 4 in 2022, followed by an enhanced version for the PS5 and PC. Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth will deviate even more from the storyline of the original game, according to Square Enix:
In this standalone adventure, Cloud Strife and his friends have escaped the dystopian city of Midgar and embark on a new journey across the wide world of Gaia to pursue the vengeful swordsman, Sephiroth.
The trailer showed off some impressive-looking visuals and some action-packed battles. Square Enix is going to ship this game on two discs, so it looks like it will be a very big game indeed. Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth is due out in early 2024.
If that wasn"t enough for fans of Final Fantasy VII, Square Enix revealed a second new game today that will be set in that world. Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis is a new mobile RPG that"s coming later this year. Here"s the description:
