Completely rebuilt using the best of modern gaming technology, Final Fantasy VII Remake is a reimagining of the iconic original game that re-defined the RPG genre. Along with unforgettable characters and a story revered as one of the most powerful within video games, the game also features a hybrid battle system that merges real-time action with strategic, command-based combat. The first game in the project is set in the eclectic and sprawling city of Midgar and presents a fully standalone gaming experience that goes deeper into the iconic characters and world than ever before.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is currently exclusive to the PlayStation 4, however, that will change in 2021. It was revealed prior to the release that Sony only had a 12 month exclusive window for this popular JRPG.
