Through the new Sony Electronics and Square Enix partnership, we learned that Final Fantasy VII Remake is the best-selling title on PSN ever for Square Enix. Looking through the company’s history of games across PS3, PS4, and PS5, this is a monumental achievement.
It was previously announced that Final Fantasy VII Remake had sold over seven million copies, making it one of the best-selling Final Fantasy titles to date. With the company set to launch the sequel to Final Fantasy VII Remake next month, it’s likely we’ll continue to see more copies of Remake sold as players aim to catch up.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Final Fantasy VII Remake. It is the second entry in the Remake Project, a collection of three games recreating and reimagining the story and world of Final Fantasy VII. The first game was initially announced at E3 2015 at the Sony Interactive Entertainment’s PlayStation show. Final Fantasy VII Remake then launched worldwide exclusively for PlayStation 4 on April 10, 2020. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, an expanded and enhanced version of the PS4 title, was announced for PlayStation 5 in the following year.
A tremendous amount of information has been confirmed for Rebirth thus far, including confirmation of non-playable Vincent & Cid, a “new episode with Zack,” the file size of the game, and more. Leading up to launch, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete will return to theaters in both Japan and the USA. A special short film will premiere alongside the movie, featuring new interviews with key FFVII creators. Kitase, Hamaguchi, and Nomura will all appear in this film.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is set to launch exclusively for PlayStation 5 on February 29, 2024. The title will be exclusive to the platform until May 29, 2024. A Standard Edition, Deluxe Edition, and Collector’s Edition are available to pre-order now.
