After a week of developer commentary, Square Enix has raised the curtains on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth once again with a new look up at the upcoming PlayStation 5 RPG. The trailer takes a look at the events following Cloud Strife that we know of from the end of Remake and the original FFVII. In this standalone adventure, Cloud Strife and his friends have escaped the dystopian city of Midgar and embark on a new journey across the wide world of Gaia to pursue the vengeful swordsman, Sephiroth.

Rebirth promises an expansive worlds, with a new level of graphic fidelity developed specifically for PS5. Following the trailer, Yoshinori Kitase said in a press release, “We’re honored to bring Final Fantasy VII Rebirth to players around the world early next year. In the next installment of this thrilling tale, Cloud and his friends—both new and returning—will embark on a new adventure, so all players can enjoy this story, even those without any familiarity with the previous title or the original FFVII. The entire team has worked fervently with love and adoration for the world of FFVII to deliver an unforgettable experience for new adventurers and longtime fans alike, reaching new heights of cinematic storytelling, immersive and fast-paced combat, and rich exploration across a vast world. We can’t wait to share more details later this year.”

The end of the trailer revealed Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will be available early 2024 and launch on two discs – a feat that puts it at a much larger capacity than the initial Remake.
