‘Final Fantasy VII Remake’ for the Xbox One gets leaked on Xbox Germany Facebook page

The first part of the Final Fantasy VII Remake is set to come out on the PlayStation 4 on March 3, 2020. It’s by no means limited to the PS4 platform, but Sony’s gaming console gets first dibs. But now, this leak from Xbox Germany’s Facebook page confirms the game is coming to Microsoft’s platform. The post has since been removed. It did suggest, though, that the game was coming out on the same day as PS4, which can’t happen because of the PS4 exclusivity. But we at least know it’s coming as soon as that exclusivity ends.

‘Final Fantasy VII Remake’ is going to be a series of games

Despite its name, Final Fantasy VII Remake isn’t just going to be a remaster of the original. Producer Yoshinori Kitase said during a closed-door presentation at E3, “Our goal here is to remake this genre-defining RPG for a new audience, for a new era, and not just to make a straight one-to-one copy or a remaster.” So, this first game focuses on Midgar, which is a dark, steampunk-inspired city that’s dominated by the evil corporation Shinra. The first game focuses here because Kitase said, “it really is the most iconic location in Final Fantasy VII’s world.” The players still control Cloud and a group of mercenaries known as Avalanche to try and put a stop to Shinra’s evil ways.

Midgar is much bigger in this remake with the game encompassing two Blu-ray discs’ worth of content. According to The Verge’s Megan Farokhmanesh hands-on time with the game, the remake is like recent Final Fantasy games with players swapping between party members to do attacks in real time. There’s even a strategic element where players can slow down time to use magic spells or launch limit break attacks. Basically, you want to stagger the enemies while dealing tons of damage. Final Fantasy VII Remake is set to launch next March, but work on the second game is already in the works. It isn’t known yet how many games will be released.

‘Final Fantasy VII Remake’ will come out on March 3, 2020

Just ahead of Square Enix’s E3 keynote, the game developer dropped the release date and a new trailer for Final Fantasy VII Remake. The game is set to launch on the PlayStation 4 on March 3, 2020. What isn’t clear at the moment is whether this will be the full game. FFVII Remake was originally said to have an episodic release. According to a tweet from Square Enix Director Tetsuya Nomura, we will hear more about the game at Square Enix’s E3 event. The keynote kicks off on June 10^th at 9PM ET / 6PM PT.
