FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH

Beyond Midgar

Developed and published by Square Enix, FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH is the second of three standalone games in the FINAL FANTASY VII remake project. Released on PS5 on 29 February 2024, it came to PC (Steam and Epic Games Store) on 23 January 2025, then to Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S on 3 June 2026, according to Square Enix. After escaping Midgar, Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Barret and Red XIII travel across vast regions on foot, by chocobo or in other vehicles. The combat system blending action and tactical pauses returns with new synergy attacks between companions, and the world is packed with side activities and minigames.

What the press says

On PS5, TheSixthAxis (9/10) calls it a masterclass in retelling a story, with near-flawless pacing and plot, plenty of activities and sublime looks and sound; it regrets some dull minigames, a bloated feel, slow loading, a few crashes and weightless objects. Push Square (8/10, PS5) praises the sense of adventure, great character moments, a well-realised world, a stellar combat system and outstanding music, but points to excessive padding, poor side quests, bad environmental textures and a rough resolution in performance mode.
