Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s release date has been confirmed

Square Enix has confirmed the release date of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

The second part in its Final Fantasy remake series will be released on February 29, on two discs.

The announcement was accompanied by a lengthy trailer showing off new gameplay and cutscenes from the game.

Unlike Final Fantasy 7 Remake, which was released for PS4 in 2020 before making its way to PS5 and PC the following year, Rebirth won’t be available for Sony’s last-gen console.

The second entry in the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy was announced in June 2022. At the time, producer Yoshinori Kitase said Rebirth would be “released next winter”, meaning in late 2023 or early 2024.

In a Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth update in June, Kitase said: “Development is progressing smoothly and according to plan, We are currently working on nailing down a release date for the game.”

Square Enix also said players won’t need to have experienced Final Fantasy 7 Remake in order to enjoy Rebirth.

“We have made preparations so that players who did not get a chance to play the first game can fully enjoy Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth,” co-director Motomu Toriyama said.
