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

In the latest installment of Nintendo's Creator’s Voice series, Naoki Hamaguchi, the director of the Final Fantasy Remake series, announced that Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is set to launch on the upcoming Switch 2.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, which is the enhanced PS5 version of the 2020 PS4 title Final Fantasy VII Remake, represents the first chapter in a trilogy that reimagines the iconic 1997 PlayStation RPG, Final Fantasy VII. Intergrade offers graphical and lighting enhancements over the PS4 version and includes the Intermission DLC, featuring the adventures of the spirited ninja, Yuffie, in Midgar.

Currently available on PS5 and PC, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade will now make its way to Nintendo's next-generation handheld, thanks to the improved capabilities of the Switch 2. Hamaguchi expressed enthusiasm, stating, "With the power of the Switch 2, we can now recreate Midgar with full specs."

The Switch 2 version will also feature GameChat, allowing players to communicate with friends during gameplay and share their screens in real-time. Hamaguchi shared his excitement, saying, "I’m very excited to see this game playable on a portable system," and expressed optimism about forging a strong partnership between Nintendo and the Final Fantasy brand.

While only Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade has been confirmed for the Switch 2 thus far, Hamaguchi hinted at future releases, stating, "I hope players are looking forward to the Final Fantasy VII Remake series on Switch 2." This suggests that subsequent entries in the trilogy, including Rebirth and the final chapter, might also find their way to the Switch 2.

The Final Fantasy series, which began on Nintendo consoles, famously transitioned to the PlayStation with Final Fantasy VII in 1997, marking its first 3D entry. With the remake series, fans will finally have the opportunity to experience Final Fantasy VII on Nintendo hardware once again.
