Square Enix is actively developing Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and the third part of the FFVII Remake trilogy for Nintendo Switch 2, according to Nintendo’s interview with director Naoki Hamaguchi. Hamaguchi notes that the Nintendo Switch 2 versions of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and FFVII Remake Part 3 will keep the gameplay experience “pretty much” the same as the other versions.
“There’s not a huge amount of information I can share in terms of future games, but I can reassure players that we’re working on the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the second game in the series, and the third game too,” Hamaguchi said in the interview. “They are being worked on for Nintendo Switch 2 alongside the other platforms right now.”
Hamaguchi continued, “One thing to reassure the fans who want to play these games on Nintendo Switch 2: I’ve got a personal policy where I don’t want to make any versions of my games different or offer a different gameplay experience just because they’re on different hardware. That might get confusing for players, and they might wonder which version of the game they should buy. That’s something I’d very much like to avoid. The Nintendo Switch 2 versions are being developed in a way that keeps the gameplay experience pretty much exactly the same as all the other platforms, so I hope this reassures Nintendo Switch 2 players.”
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is available now for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. The game includes the Episode INTERmission DLC featuring Yuffie Kisaragi and “Streamlined Progression.” Streamlined Progression is an optional feature that grants access to unlimited MP and HP, unlimited limit and ATB gauge during battles, 9,999 damage, easier weapon ability acquisition, and more.
