Part two of the Square Enix highly anticipated title Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has gotten a launch date for next year in February.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Announced for February 29th 2024 Launch for PS5

You will finally be able to continue the adventure of Cloud and co with the second instalment Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth which has been announced to be leaping into action (leap year pun intended) on February 29th 2024 for Playstation 5.

It also looks to be a platform exclusive at least for 3 months according to the small print. This could mean we’ll be seeing it arrive on PC a few months later.

The Legend Returns

Square Enix has been showing snippets of FF7 Rebirth since its announcement in June 2022. It will be continuing where players left off in the first part of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. We already know that this game is going to be a big one, with details that it will arrive on two discs this time around. It’s also part of a trilogy, so part 2 won’t be the end of the saga.

The trailer gives a peek at what’s in store for Cloud as well as a returning cast of characters including Red XIII, Aeirith, Barret, Sephiroth, and some new characters come into play. It also gives a quick glimpse at some major action boss fights and dance numbers that surely will leave a lasting impression.

On the lighter side, there are also mini-games such as Chocobo racing which didn’t make it into the first and the Gold Saucer which includes a robot beat’em up. This gives me instant visions of the MMORPG Final Fantasy 14 version of the Gold Saucer which also has Chocobo racing, hopefully just as fun in FF7.

The main Final Fantasy 7 titles haven’t been the only ones to be remade. We also got titles such as Crisis Core Final Fantasy 7 Reunion as a “more than” remaster. Then there were the mobile titles such as Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis and the spinoff battle royal Final Fantasy 7 The First Soldier.
