Square Enix officially unveiled the first Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth trailer at Summer Game Fest after dropping hints beforehand. The trailer revealed that the game is set to be released in “early 2024” and disclosed that the physical edition will be split into two discs.

Continuing from Final Fantasy VII Remake and the recent Crisis Core remake, the trailer showcased the party venturing outside the confines of Midgar, riding chocobos, and engaging in conversations about Cloud’s whereabouts during the past five years. Additionally, it confirmed that Red XIII will be a playable character this time, while Yuffie also made a brief appearance.

Fans have eagerly awaited the release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth trailer ever since the surprising conclusion of Final Fantasy VII Remake.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth continues the narrative established in Final Fantasy VII Remake, which primarily took place within the city of Midgar. But the sequel expands the story beyond Shinra’s capital and into the broader world. But this installment is the second part of a planned trilogy, with development for the third game already underway.
