In a new interview, Director Naoki Hamaguchi stated that pre-orders for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on Switch 2 are “going extremely well.” The game will head to Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S on June 3.
The full quote states the following:
“I feel that the release of Rebirth is of great importance in allowing Switch 2 players to catch up with the latest installment in the series. Since we’ve been able to release Remake and Rebirth on Switch 2 at a good pace, interest has been high and pre-orders are going extremely well. Above all, I’m genuinely happy that we’ve been able to bring this series to Nintendo fans in the way it deserves. To everyone in the Nintendo community, thank you for waiting so patiently for so long. I believe Final Fantasy VII is remembered by many as the title that symbolized the franchise’s departure from Nintendo hardware.
That is precisely why, as creators, bringing Remake and Rebirth to the Nintendo Switch 2 carries a very special emotional weight for us. This project is not only for longtime fans who have followed FFVII for years, but also serves as a gateway for those experiencing this world for the first time. FFVII is returning to a place it once left behind through this remake project, now with the technology and experiences of our time. We would be delighted if you could experience that moment on the Nintendo Switch 2.”
A free demo for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is available in the Nintendo eShop and Microsoft Store. The Final Fantasy VII Rebirth demo contains Chapters 1 and 2, the Streamlined Progression system, and save data transfers to the full game. More news about Final Fantasy VII Remake part 3 will release later this year.
