Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Announced for Nintendo Switch 2: Release Date, Pre-orders, and Special Edition Revealed

Square Enix continues its strong partnership with Nintendo, officially announcing that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will launch on Nintendo Switch 2 on June 3rd.

Hot on the heels of the critically acclaimed Final Fantasy VII Remake, which recently debuted for Switch 2, this sequel brings both new and longtime fans another highly anticipated chapter of Cloud Strife's story — this time, enhanced for Nintendo’s latest hardware. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the second entry in Square Enix’s ambitious remake project, building upon the foundation set by its predecessor.

Since arriving on the Nintendo Switch 2 just two weeks ago, Final Fantasy VII Remake has garnered exceptional sales, further solidifying the series' legacy on Nintendo’s cutting-edge console.

Recognizing this momentum, the publisher has moved quickly to deliver Rebirth to Switch 2 users, maintaining the trilogy’s renewed relevance in the modern gaming landscape. In an official statement, a Square Enix spokesperson highlighted the studio’s excitement: “We are thrilled to bring the next chapter of Final Fantasy VII to Nintendo Switch 2 players so soon after the success of Remake.

Our commitment is to deliver the full experience, complete with visual and performance enhancements that showcase the power of the new hardware.” Coinciding with the announcement, Nintendo released the debut Switch 2 trailer for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

The trailer showcases the game’s richly detailed environments, high-fidelity character models, and expansive world — all running smoothly on the Nintendo Switch 2.

Fans have praised the visuals, noting significant advancements that rival premier titles on competing platforms. Adding to the excitement, Square Enix confirmed that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will be offered in both digital and physical editions on the Switch 2.

The physical release includes an exclusive Zack Fair Magic: The Gathering card, a collectible certain to appeal to both gaming and trading card communities.

This bundle reinforces Square Enix’s tradition of offering compelling limited edition incentives for its flagship releases. Pre-orders for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on Nintendo Switch 2 are expected to go live imminently through major retailers and the Nintendo eShop.

The launch on June 3rd places Rebirth at the center of Nintendo’s summer lineup, ensuring steady anticipation from RPG enthusiasts and series veterans alike. With two premium Final Fantasy VII entries now gracing the Nintendo Switch 2 in close succession, Square Enix and Nintendo are poised to captivate a new generation of players while honoring the franchise’s storied legacy.
