Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis will launch for mobile devices via iOS and Android on September 7, 2023.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will release for PlayStation 5 in Early 2024 on two discs. We’ll keep you all updated on this highly anticipated release.

Check out our previous coverage for screenshots and staff comments.

We also shared our thoughts on the latest trailer.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the sequel to the first entry in this ongoing Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy effort. Throughout the announcement trailer, players got a tease of the Nibleheim flashback with Cloud and Sephiroth and Zack carrying Cloud, seemingly from either the end of Crisis Core or the end of Remake.

The latest trailer from Summer Games Fest showcased quite a bit more, with a relatively open world, team attacks, Chocobo riding, and fascinating story developments that have truly made this entry diverge from the original game’s timeline. Still, familiar areas like Cosmo Canyon and the Chocobo Farm are also present. Oddly, Square Enix calls this a completely standalone entry, which comes off as too blatantly untrue, even for marketing purposes.
