New Final Fantasy 7 Remake Leak Suggests the Title Might Just Be a Platform Exclusive

Square Enix is getting ready to release the second game in the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy. The studio has scheduled the release of the second part of the trilogy to come in February 2024. Devs have confirmed that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will be a PlayStation 5 exclusive game until May 29, 2024. That being said, fans will have to wait approximately three months after its initial release for it to make its way to other platforms.

While the PS5 exclusivity period seems like an opportunity to expand to other platforms, a recent leak states that there are no plans to do so for Nintendo or Xbox consoles. Is there any truth to this?

Final Fantasy 7 Remake might not make it to the Xbox X and Nintendo Switch

A well-known and reliable video game leaker discussed Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. According to their information, Square Enix does not have any plans to release the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy on gaming platforms such as the Nintendo Switch or Xbox Series X. The leak was discussed on the FamiBoards forums in a conversation about potential games for the alleged Nintendo Switch’s successor.

The leak suggests that Square Enix prioritizes other projects. This could be the reason the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy is not coming on Nintendo Switch or Xbox. NateDrake suggests that while it remains a possibility, it isn’t the publisher’s current focus. However, the chances of the game being ported to these platforms are highly unlikely.

The claims contradict earlier rumors and leaks. Fellow leakers previously suggested that the game could potentially arrive on the Nintendo Switch and Xbox platforms. While the aforementioned leaker has a reliable track record, it’s important to approach this information with caution. This is because Square Enix has not yet issued an official statement.

Currently, there is no official confirmation regarding a release on other systems. However, fans are encouraged to remain hopeful. With the possibility of a PC port of the game in the future, fans are advised to stay tuned for any updates.
