Square Enix has officially announced that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will launch for Nintendo Switch 2 on June 3, 2026.
This major reveal was made during the latest Nintendo Direct, confirming months of anticipation from both Nintendo and RPG fans worldwide.
The announcement solidifies Square Enix's commitment to bringing flagship titles to Nintendo's next-generation hardware and continues the legacy of one of gaming’s most revered franchises. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth serves as the second installment in the expansive Final Fantasy VII remake initiative.
This ambitious project, helmed by original creators from the iconic 1997 release, seeks to reimagine the classic tale across three distinct, standalone titles.
The story picks up after the conclusion of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, with the hero Cloud Strife and his allies making their escape from the industrial city of Midgar to explore the broader world beyond.
The series has been praised for its modern reimagining of beloved characters, dynamic combat, and cinematic storytelling while honoring the legacy it’s built over decades. Square Enix received notable acclaim for its previous efforts to bring Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade to Nintendo Switch 2.
In a revision of prior commentary on the port, it was described as an impressive adaptation of the action-RPG to Nintendo’s new-generation console.
Reviewers noted, "Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade stands out as a well-crafted action-RPG with a strong presentation, offering both nostalgia and fresh experience for long-time fans.
It's a testament to Square Enix's technical skill and understanding of what the fanbase cherishes in the franchise." Despite the overwhelmingly positive reception, players were reminded that while the game delivers a compelling trip into the classic universe, it does so as part of a larger narrative yet to reach its ultimate resolution.
As summarized by critics, "This chapter remains a highly recommendable experience for fans and newcomers alike, as long as expectations are set regarding the ongoing nature of the story." Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will be available both physically at retailers and digitally via the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2.
This release not only confirms support for Nintendo’s latest hardware but also sets a high benchmark for future third-party titles on the platform.
Square Enix continues to prove its leadership in the genre, offering JRPG enthusiasts another landmark title to explore when the game arrives worldwide on June 3, 2026.
