Final Fantasy 7 Remake Rumored Hitting Xbox and Switch 2 This Year

The recent comments by Ultimate Fantasy producer Yoshinori Kitase final month that they need to get the Ultimate Fantasy video games to as many gamers as attainable closely implies that non-PlayStation avid gamers might be getting one of many PS5-exclusive Ultimate Fantasy video games quickly.

In keeping with a brand new rumor, that is exactly what’s about to occur, as Ultimate Fantasy 7 Remake is claimed to be dropping not simply on Xbox Collection X|S but in addition on the unannounced Nintendo Change 2 later this yr.

Leaker Reveals Ultimate Fantasy 7 Remake Will not Be A PS5 Console-Unique Beginning This 12 months

This morsel of information comes from NateTheHate’s newest podcast, the place the dependable leaker claims that he can affirm that Ultimate Fantasy 7 Remake can be launched for Xbox Collection X|S and the Nintendo Change 2 in 2025, with Ultimate Fantasy 7 Rebirth hitting different consoles in 2026.

Clearly, that is unofficial information, so deal with it with a grain of salt for now. This follows after Ultimate Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi publicly stated that he desires to get the video games out to as many gamers as attainable. Whenever you additionally think about that Sq. Enix confirmed that FF7 Rebirth sales underperformed, then this rumor positively appears believable.

In terms of the Change 2 model, whereas Nintendo hasn’t even revealed the brand new console but, more and more info about it has popped up on-line, and it appears like we’re due for a reveal sooner quite than later.

Provided that Ultimate Fantasy 7 Remake was launched 5 years in the past, the console-exclusivity deal Sony has with Sq. Enix ought to have lapsed, as these offers often final for simply 12 months. I imply, it makes numerous sense to launch it on different platforms because it must be a comparatively simple port for Sq. Enix, and it additionally means they’re opening up the sport (and franchise) to new audiences.
