Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is heading to the Switch 2 on June 3. The news was dropped at this morning’s Nintendo Direct livestream. This is the second part of the FF7 remake-a-palooza. The first installment, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, was released for Nintendo’s console on January 22. Only a six month wait between chapters? Sony fans had to wait four years.
For the uninitiated, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth remakes the middle portion of the PS1 classic Final Fantasy 7. The graphics are, obviously, quite different, but so is the gameplay. This isn’t exactly the JRPG you remember, with a real time action system instead of turn-based mechanics.
This is a full port of the PS5 game, further proving that the Switch 2 is a capable little machine. It’s certainly pretty to look at, as proven by the trailer. As an aside, the port is also coming to Xbox Series X/S on the very same day.

Now that all of the major consoles will soon be home to both current FF7 remakes, we can join in solidarity as we wait for the third and final installment. Yeah, that’s right. A JRPG from 1997 requires three gigantic remakes. We don’t even know when the third one is coming out, but rumors suggest 2027.
Today’s Nintendo Direct also revealed that a bunch of Bethesda games are heading to the Switch 2, including Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition on February 24, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on May 12 and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered sometime later in the year.
