Final Fantasy VII Remake Trilogy Set for Nintendo Switch 2, Square Enix Confirms

In the latest installment of Nintendo’s Creator’s Voice series, Final Fantasy VII Remake series director Naoki Hamaguchi shared exciting news about the future of the beloved franchise on Nintendo platforms. He announced that Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is set to receive a Switch 2 release, marking a significant milestone for the series.

Intergrade represents the enhanced PS5 version of the critically acclaimed 2020 PS4 title, Final Fantasy VII Remake, which reimagines the iconic 1997 PS1 RPG. This expanded version introduces improved graphics, advanced lighting techniques, and the addition of Intermission, the DLC focusing on Yuffie’s adventures in Midgar. Currently available on PS5 and PC, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is poised to make its debut on the Switch 2, thanks to the console’s upgraded capabilities.

Hamaguchi expressed enthusiasm about the possibilities, stating, “With the power of the Switch 2, we can now recreate Midgar with full specs.” The ability to play on the go opens new avenues for immersive experiences, allowing gamers to enjoy the game during commutes or while traveling. He further highlighted the potential for social interaction through GameChat, enabling seamless communication and screen sharing among players.

While only Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade has been officially confirmed for the Switch 2, Hamaguchi teased the possibility of future entries in the series, including Rebirth and the concluding chapter of the trilogy, potentially making the entire saga accessible on Nintendo hardware. This development marks a nostalgic return to the roots of the Final Fantasy series, which initially debuted on Nintendo consoles before transitioning to PlayStation for its groundbreaking 3D iteration. Fans eagerly anticipate the journey ahead, as FFVII finally finds its place on Nintendo platforms.
