Final Fantasy VII Rebirth to Launch on February 29, 2024 for the PS5
/
During Sony’s State of Play broadcast for September 2023, Square Enix released a new trailer for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, revealing that the follow-up to Final Fantasy VII Remake will launch on February 29, 2024, for the PlayStation 5.
This is the second title for the planned trilogy of remaking the famed Final Fantasy VII to modern platforms and it looks massive compared to what was delivered in Final Fantasy VII Remake.
They weren’t shy to show new content of the game as we see the world outside Midgard. We see mini-games, different Chocobos for environmental traversal, Caith Sith in action, a glimpse of Vincent, more action in Cloud and Tifa’s past, and more.
“We are finally able to announce the release date to all of you! We have been working tirelessly on FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH since the release of FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE, and we can’t wait for you to experience our labor of love. In this title, Cloud and his friends, who have fled Midgar, will be setting out on an adventure across an expansive world of untold adventure in pursuit of Sephiroth, the legendary SOLDIER. While the main storyline is bigger and more ambitious than the previous game’s narrative, FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH also embraces the concept of "free exploration," with compelling stories, fun mini-games, powerful monsters and so much more to find throughout the world map. We hope you will explore this world in great detail, as nearly 100 hours of adventure await. We hope you will take this new FINAL FANTASY game experience in your own hands to enjoy.” says the game’s director Naoki Hamaguchi.

Stellar Blade’s potential was clear, but as its ambitions expanded into something greater, it lost focus. As soon as Stellar Blade tries to bring everything together, it merges into a single figure that looks deformed and uneven. The quality is unquestionable but it wasn’t the final product I was slowly building in my head as I went through the game’s first half.
