Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Teased for Nintendo Switch 2 Following Intergrade Announcement

The excitement for Square Enix’s iconic RPG franchise is reignited as Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is officially announced for Nintendo Switch 2.

This announcement, made during a recent Nintendo Creator’s Voice presentation, has immediately prompted fans to speculate on the future availability of other entries in the remake series—most notably, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, originally released in June 2021 for PlayStation 5 and later available on PC via Steam, is a visually enhanced version of the acclaimed 2020 remake.

The game received praise for its reimagined visuals, expanded narrative, and additional content, building tremendous anticipation for the sequel.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the second installment in the ambitious trilogy, was released on PlayStation 5 in February 2024 and is scheduled to arrive on Steam in 2025.

This monumental remake project has captivated both veteran fans and a new generation of players. The big question following the Switch 2 announcement has been whether Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will also make its way to Nintendo’s upcoming hardware.

During the Nintendo Creator’s Voice video, Naoki Hamaguchi, programmer and director at Square Enix, made a notable reference to "the Final Fantasy VII remake series" in relation to the Nintendo Switch 2.

While Hamaguchi stopped short of confirming a release, his use of the plural "series" rather than referencing a single title has been interpreted as an encouraging sign for fans hoping to see more entries—such as Rebirth and possibly the unnamed third game—arrive on Nintendo’s next-generation platform. This strategic language reflects both Square Enix’s broad vision for the remake series and their intent to support the platform.

Success on Nintendo Switch 2 could represent a significant new chapter for the franchise, enabling greater access for players who prefer Nintendo hardware.

Square Enix’s approach is likely to monitor the performance and reception of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade after its eShop debut for Switch 2 before making further commitments regarding future titles. Historically, expanding Final Fantasy’s presence on Nintendo platforms has proven successful for Square Enix.

With the Nintendo Direct and eShop serving as vital promotional and sales channels, the arrival of the Final Fantasy VII remake series on Nintendo Switch 2 signifies a renewed partnership and an exciting future for role-playing fans. As anticipation mounts, both existing fans of the FFVII remake series and newcomers to the saga are eager to experience these acclaimed titles on Nintendo Switch 2.

If enthusiasm and sales align with expectations, it seems increasingly likely that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth—and hopefully the entire remake trilogy—could become an integral part of Switch 2’s game library.
