Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Announced for Nintendo Switch 2: Square Enix Expands Multiplatform Strategy

Square Enix has officially confirmed the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade for the Nintendo Switch 2, signaling a significant evolution in the company’s commitment to multiplatform distribution.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, initially a PlayStation 5 exclusive with a subsequent PC launch, is widely recognized for revitalizing the iconic role-playing game (RPG) originally released on the PlayStation 1.

While Square Enix has not yet announced a specific launch date for the Nintendo Switch 2 version, its arrival underscores the developer’s intention to broaden its reach by bringing major franchises to new audiences. The Final Fantasy VII Remake project began as an ambitious reimagining of one of Square Enix’s most beloved classics.

The original Final Fantasy VII debuted on PlayStation in 1997 and quickly developed a dedicated global fanbase.

Calls for a modern remake persisted for years, culminating in the official launch of Final Fantasy VII Remake for PlayStation 4 in 2020.

Enhanced and expanded, the Intergrade edition arrived for PS5 in June 2021, featuring improved graphics, accelerated performance, and additional story content, notably the "INTERmission" episode starring Yuffie Kisaragi. Now, with the forthcoming Nintendo Switch 2 edition, Square Enix is demonstrating an unprecedented openness to releasing its flagship titles across multiple platforms.

A spokesperson for the company stated that bringing Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade to Switch 2 represents an important step in its strategy to serve players wherever they choose to play.

The move not only broadens access for the growing Nintendo Switch fanbase but also highlights the technical capabilities of the Nintendo Switch 2 hardware, which aims to deliver experiences previously limited to high-powered consoles like the PS5. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is the first installment in a planned trilogy that revisits the legendary journey of Cloud Strife, Barrett Wallace, Tifa Lockhart, Aerith Gainsborough, and their allies as they battle the sinister Shinra corporation and uncover the mysteries within Midgar.

The Remake trilogy has received critical acclaim for its fresh take on classic gameplay and storytelling, blending modern graphics with beloved narrative elements. With no official release date yet, anticipation remains high among Switch users eager to experience one of gaming’s most celebrated RPGs.

The launch on Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to introduce Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade to millions of new players via the Nintendo eShop, while further cementing Square Enix’s reputation as a leading creator of high-quality, multiplatform titles.

As fans await more details, this announcement marks a noteworthy milestone for both Square Enix and Nintendo’s next-generation console lineup.
