Thanks to the content-packed 30 minute State of Play even last night, Square Enix has officially revealed not only an enhanced PS5 version of Final Fantasy VII Remake, but also new content to continue to the story from the perspective of Yuffie, who will have an episode of her very own. That’s the great news. The kinda bad news? We’ll have to wait until June 10th, 2021 to get our hands on it…
PS5 players who already own the PS4 version of Final Fantasy VII Remake will indeed get upgraded for free to the next-generation version, which is on display in one of the trailers below. The additional episode will cost extra in that scenario.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade can be pre-ordered now for the PS5 in 2 flavors so far (standard and digital deluxe), via the PlayStation Store and soon at retail as well.
Take a look at some screen, an announcement trailer and a PS5 features trailer below, along with the official details.
