Square Enix has released the official launch trailer for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth ahead of the game's arrival on Nintendo Switch 2.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth — the next entry in the Final Fantasy VII Remake project — is scheduled to launch on June 3, 2026 for the Nintendo Switch 2.
The title continues Square Enix's multi-part reimagining of the original Final Fantasy VII, following the release of Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
What the launch trailer and overview reveal
The official overview describes the lifestream as the planet's cycle of life and death, the source from which all life flows and to which it returns.
Square Enix states that the Shinra Electric Power Company ruthlessly extracts the lifestream and refines it into mako for industrial use.
After surviving the battles in Midgar, ex-SOLDIER Cloud Strife and his allies depart the city and traverse open world environments, including grassy plains with chocobos, as their journey unfolds across the planet.
The overview also recounts scenes involving SOLDIER First Class Zack Fair, who appears injured and carrying the delirious Cloud after mako poisoning.
The trailer shows ominous imagery: a rift in the sky, Wutai's interim government preparing resistance against Shinra, black-robed figures transporting the remains of Jenova, and the awakening of the planet's monstrous guardians known as Weapons.
Square Enix frames these events as part of a larger weave of fate driven by Sephiroth's machinations, leading the party toward locations from the original game such as The Forgotten Capital.
How this fits into the remake project
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is billed as the second major installment in Square Enix's three-part reimagining of the 1997 classic.
The Remake project reinterprets the original narrative across standalone titles developed and published by Square Enix.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake acted as the project’s first major release, and Rebirth continues that expanded narrative approach.
Availability and where to watch
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launches on Nintendo Switch 2 on June 3, 2026.
The launch trailer is available from Square Enix’s official channels and on the Nintendo eShop listing for the title.
For official updates and potential digital pre-orders, check Nintendo's announcements and Square Enix press releases or the next Nintendo Direct for further details.
