Square Enix has officially launched Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- Reunion on Nintendo Switch 2, offering a limited eShop discount but no upgrade path for owners of the original Switch release.
Revealed during a recent Nintendo Direct presentation, the remastered action RPG is available now on the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop at a reduced price of $34.99 USD, down from its $49.99 USD retail price.
Background and platform history
Crisis Core originally released on the Nintendo Switch in December 2022.
The Reunion edition is a remaster developed and published by Square Enix, arriving as one of the earlier third-party titles to appear on Nintendo Switch 2.
The project updates character models, interfaces, and backgrounds for high-definition displays on the new hardware while retaining the core narrative centered on SOLDIER operative Zack Fair.
What Square Enix and Nintendo confirmed
Square Enix described the Reunion release as a remaster set seven years before the events of Final Fantasy VII, following Zack Fair as he investigates the disappearance of a fellow SOLDIER and uncovers secrets that reshape his sense of duty and identity.
The company confirmed the Switch 2 edition includes a complete HD graphics overhaul of character models, UI, and backgrounds, fully voiced English and Japanese dialogue, an updated action combat system, and a newly arranged soundtrack by original composer Takeharu Ishimoto.
Nintendo provided clarification on digital pre-orders for the related Final Fantasy VII Revelation: 24-hour Early Access on Nintendo Switch 2 is exclusive to Premium and Premium Plus Editions.
Nintendo noted that customers who pre-order the Standard Edition and wish to receive Early Access must cancel that order before payment is processed and then purchase the Premium or Premium Plus Edition instead.
