Square Enix is bringing two of its most acclaimed RPG titles, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3, to the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.
This news has generated significant buzz among fans and industry observers, as the Final Fantasy series remains a cornerstone of the role-playing genre, recognized for its iconic storytelling and innovative gameplay.
Square Enix, a global leader in game development, has a storied history of bringing quality experiences to Nintendo platforms—most recently with Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, which set a new bar for ports on hybrid consoles. The Nintendo Switch 2, still awaiting a full reveal and launch date, represents the next generation of Nintendo hardware.
Fans have questioned whether such graphically demanding titles can retain fidelity and performance parity with the versions released on PlayStation 5 and other high-end platforms.
Square Enix has been quick to address these concerns, with director Naoki Hamaguchi providing assurance about the approach being taken for these major JRPG releases. In a recent interview, Hamaguchi made it clear that both Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Remake Part 3 are currently in development for Switch 2 alongside their counterparts on other platforms.
Summarizing his statements, Hamaguchi emphasized that his philosophy is to deliver the same core gameplay experience across every system, adding that differentiating versions based on hardware can be confusing for players.
He reassured Nintendo Switch 2 fans by stating that the upcoming titles are being designed so that the gameplay experience is 'essentially identical' to what players can expect on other consoles—including PlayStation 5—avoiding compromises or diluted content. Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade recently arrived on the Nintendo Switch 2’s eShop, earning praise for its optimized performance and graphical fidelity.
Reviews note that this version not only stands toe-to-toe with the original PlayStation 5 release but also improves upon the previous PlayStation 4 iteration, demonstrating Square Enix’s technical expertise in adapting its premier games for Nintendo hardware. The decision to maintain complete feature and content parity speaks to Square Enix’s broader commitment to its global audience and reinforces Nintendo Switch 2’s viability as a premier home for major third-party titles.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Remake Part 3 have yet to receive official release dates for Nintendo Switch 2, but their confirmed development signals the platform’s growing importance within the industry—and its compatibility with blockbuster AAA experiences. As Square Enix continues to refine its development pipeline across multiple hardware platforms, fans can look forward to seamless, uncompromised adventures in Midgar and beyond, no matter where they choose to play.
For now, Nintendo and RPG enthusiasts can experience Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade as a preview of the technical leaps awaiting on Nintendo Switch 2.
Stay tuned for further updates from both Nintendo Direct presentations and Square Enix announcements regarding these highly anticipated releases.
